I've been reading the comments about this movie, and it's so funny how most of our titles are very similar "This movie is great!" "I love it!" "Great fun!" As funny as this is, we're not joking. This movie really IS great.
When I first heard about this movie about 3 weeks ago from my friend, I was reluctant to see it. I mean, I love singing and dancing...but I wasn't sure about them together. There are some fabulous musicals like West Side Story which I adored, but I still wasn't what you would call a musical-lover. That all changed when I saw Newsies. Let me spell it out for you. This movie has everything the teenage girl is looking for (and even something for guys, too!): cute boys with accents, great choreography, excellent singing, a great cast of children and adults, and a wonderful message. In fact, I nearly started tearing up when I heard Christian Bale's beautiful voice crooning "Santa Fe". There are a few slow parts, I must admit, like the scenes with Pulitzer and his men, but those are few and far between. Most of the movie is filled to the brim with rousing, stand-up-and-cheer (um, I mean dance) action! :D Watch this movie!
