We did not like this movie at all. This film had good music and dancing but the screenplay was so bad that the movie became a disappointment. It took almost 30 minutes for the plot to get going. The music was well written but did not always fit the context of the film.

 

Joel

Favorite: Some of the Gershwin songs were fun to hear. I really liked "Who Could Ask For Anything More"

Least Favorite: I hated the ending. It was a 20 minute song and dance that did not make any sense at all.

Callie
Favorite: The storyline was interesting. I also liked the romance.
Least Favorite: Everything else. The last dancing scene was terrible and I still can't figure out what was happening.
