My Review-

One of the most famous musicals of all time, and I'am barely watching it now. Well actually earlier, and I really enjoyed it and I do not really like a lot of musicals I'm kind of picky when it comes to a musical. This one however I have always wanted to watch because of the song that is the title of the movie and I have heard it before but never knew it was in a movie, Now that I have finally watched I can see why it is considered one of the best musicals of our time. I also never knew that Debbie Reynolds was able to sing or dance, mostly because she does not do movies like this type anymore, which she should or at least a singing movie. A times I did find that some of the song choices did not need to be in the movie, but the main song which is the title of the movie was possibly one of the best parts of them film, aside from a few other scenes. I though that actors; Kelly and O'Connor worked really well together and made it seem like they had been best friends for years and years. It's acting like this that makes a movie work for me when it comes down to knowing each other that long in a movie. Its musicals like this one that get me to like musicals that make me have a good feeling and at times want to dance with the music, so if you ahve never seen this film watch it.
