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

Gayle B May 30 Love the recent showing of classic musicals. Went to see An American in Paris, Singin in the Rain, and The Phantom of the Opera (2004). All enjoyed very much. Beautiful and entertaining films. See more 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 A A @moviegoerz 15h This is one of those timeless classics you can watch over and over without ever getting bored. Everything from the music and acting to the direction is absolute perfection, and the characters are so full of charm and personality that you can't help but smile the whole way through. See more Elliot K @valos Jun 20 The musical numbers were flawless, the story was charming, I loved it. See more Jayden C @RT79235533 May 20 I don't particularly like the music too much in the film but i can appreciate the lengths they went to creating the set and atmosphere for the story. The plot is lovely and the acting is pretty good. See more Joe E @jescanuelas May 19 Not a fan of musicals but I was able to get through this one without getting completely bored.
