This is unfortunately not a great movie, even though I really wanted to like it. We were excited to find it on Netflix. Watched with my kids (10 & 6). The younger one got bored (just like me), the older one started to sigh every time a song commenced. The lyrics are, I don't know a nicer word for it, uninteresting. Also repetitive. They don't push the story forward, there's no point to them even though the whole story revolves around music. If you compare this to a movie like Soul, which is also musically driven, it's the difference between watching the Yankees at work vs watching the Pirates. The shirts are clean, the audience is there, hotdogs and beer aplenty and they play in the same league but... not really. The girls scouts were written by some misogynist. On the upside, the graphics are beautiful and I really sympathized with the old man for the first ten minutes. Give it a shot for your kids, but to adults I would say don't clear out your schedule for this.
