It's tough to fight the longstanding consensus that this is the greatest movie musical of all time, but what's often lost in the praise is that this also qualifies as a great comedy. Go to Full Review Daniel Barnes Dare Daniel Nov 5

Unbelievable the level of suffering that these people went through to create the most exuberantly joyful movie ever made. Go to Full Review Chance Solem-Pfeifer Willamette Week 01/28/2025
It’s an extravaganza of color, joy and mockery of hokey romances, but perhaps above all, you couldn’t re-create the miracle of Gene Kelly’s footwork with a billion-dollar supercomputer and a contract with the devil. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Eric J 01/30/2025 Delightful movie, made the old fashion way. No computer graphics, no explosions, no improbable stunts. Plenty of singing, dancing, and humor. Overall a very entertaining, upbeat movie. I dont think ive ever smiled so much over the course of a movie before. See more Kevin P @RT55971421 22h The quintessential classic golden age Hollywood musical that lives up to the hype with its grand scale musical numbers. The dance choreography is insanely impressive (even if the behind the scenes rehearsals were brutal). Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds are both really charming as the leads and are very talented with their singing, comedic timing, and dancing routines. The musical numbers are very catchy. The comedic timing and delivery is very on point for all of the actors. I love the funny angry movie director and all the crazy stunts he puts his silent actors through. Hollywood star Lena's ridiculous voice reveal was pretty funny. It's a fun movie about making movies and watching all the chaos unfold. The musical numbers continue to be very catchy with striking colors and background art design. The dance choreography is so smooth, it almost looks like ice skating. It's a very charming and vibrant movie with some of the most impressive dance choreography I've ever seen. See more rex W @RT11010153 6d The dancing, colors, costumes, staging, singing, comedy, writing, direction, and production make "Singin' in the Rain" the greatest musical of all time. See more James J. @Jameson282 Jan 20 Amazing movie, songs were beautiful and catchy, characters and plot was interesting. See more Victoria @Victoria13 Jan 9 The best musical. See more M B @Timbero Dec 31 Best musical ever made! Great, genuinely funny story too! See more Read all reviews
