Audience Reviews for Singin' in the Rain

  • Feb 01, 2017
    An absolute masterpiece, and easily, easily 5 stars. Gene Kelly's performance of 'Singin' in the Rain' has to be the greatest dance numbers ever performed on film, and I could watch it over and over again. He's a genius throughout this movie as both actor and director. It's just one fantastic number after another, including Donald O'Connor's 'Make 'Em Laugh', the two gentlemen and a 19-year-old Debbie Reynolds performing 'Good Morning' which includes that beautiful sofa sequence at the end, and Kelly dancing with Cyd Charisse in a stunning "imagined sequence within an imagined sequence", with beautiful modern art touches - and many others. This film works on all levels - a musical, of course, but also a romantic-comedy, and an ode to Hollywood's past. It makes you feel good not just because of the story, but because of the irrepressible joy in the performances, and because of you know you're seeing real artistry in the choreography and execution. They make it look smooth and easy, often making the most (so creatively!) out of an economy of space, but if you read the stories of the effort that went in, you'll appreciate it all the more. It's not for nothing that the cast of LaLaLand watched this movie every day on set for inspiration. Pure joy.

    'Singin' in the Rain' is still a proven feast for the eyes and ears, full of charisma and intelligence and laughter.

    'Singin' in the Rain' is another one of those films that you just can't help but enjoy. It's so warm and funny and has such visual splendor and creative energy that you just kind of get sucked into all of the action. Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor are as gifted as comedians as they are song-and-dance men, and Debbie Reynolds and Jean Hagen provide worthy female support. It's really just a very fun little film.

    I'll admit that I liked this movie, and honestly don't mind seeing it again once in a while. It has a great plot, story, and characters, and most of the songs are really catchy. On top of all that, it can be really funny at times.
