This was my first musical I went to. I didn't know if I was going to like it or find it unbearable to watch. It was a little less unbearable most of the time. I know now it is just not my thing. I felt it dragged on for most of the time. The most dragged was when the actors had these long solos and the last forty five minutes. I just wanted it to get it over with. Especially with Russel Crowe. I did not feel the same way with Anne Hathaway, though. I thought she gave the best performance in the entire film.

The way the songs were performed were great to watch. There isn't really much for me to say about this movie other than I liked it overall but I don't think I will ever see it again. I partially enjoyed my experience watching my first musical and the songs were well executed. Even Russel Crowe wasn't that bad.
