first of all, the fact that they actually translated the show into a film is a feat in its self. the show, i used to think, could only be viewed on stage, but not anymore. The movie makes it easier for the viewer to make personal connections with the characters.
The music, for the most part was great, (minus today for you, all the songs sounded amazing, i just liked the techno-ish version of the song from the Broadway show better). Rosario Dawson sings better than i expected, and man can Idina Mendel and Traci Thomas belt it out! Some of the cuts they made we uncalled for (hello they cut the whole Christmas song scene! i love that scene!) and they changed how April dies (the suicide was important part of the show that got cut out).
But the movie works so well. They didn't make it too flashy, (minus tango Maureen which was wonderful!! I liked how they showed it through Mark hitting his head.) I was so surprised how well the music numbers worked well in reality. It seemed kind of natural to have them break out in song.
I feel like the more I watch this movie, the more I will like it. And i like it a lot!
