Joel H @786Joel Jun 17 I didn’t really seize the day when Newsies first came out and see it in theaters. I had friends (mostly girls) who were obsessed with this movie (and Spot Conlon) in junior high, but it was kind of a blind spot for me until college. I actually really enjoy the songs, and I think the choreography is quite impressive. Also, who doesn’t love to see a young Bruce Wayne dancing his heart out and singing about Santa Fe? All that being said, the story drags on a bit, and I can’t get past how goofy Robert Duvall acts in his role as Joseph Pulitzer. Still, Newsies shouldn’t have bombed as hard as it did.

Although Duvall isn't in the movie that much he still played a good villain. Again I love movies based on true stories. I don't quite understand the low critic score but to each their own. This is a top 10 musical in my opinion.

The subplot about David's sister felt unnecessary, but the rest unfolds smoothly with an engaging script. I don't know if this is the reason for the controversy, but I think it's transgressive enough to be worth watching. The performances also impressed me: the cast is very dynamic, and the choreography is anything but simple. Critics complain about the soundtrack... I don't know much about that, but it didn't stop me from being entertained for two hours. Well, the ending isn't the best (the printing press scene and the fact that it all happened in one night); it feels rushed and underdeveloped. The resolution no longer surprises you; you're only there because you know it's the ending. However, Kenny Ortega manages to compensate with a good dose of collective exuberance. If this is a bad movie, then it will proudly be my guilty pleasure.

I know the movie came first, but I say you should watch the musical over this lost 90’s flick See more Read all reviews
