Movie Review-- Singing in the Rain


Singing in the Rain

Genre: Musical

Summary: A movie star, his new love, and his sidekick attempt to adapt to the "talkie" revolution

My Grade: %98

Pros:

  • Excellent music, especially "Make 'Em Laugh," "Moses Supposes," and "Good Morning"
  • Gene Kelly- what a performer.
  • Great voice by Debbie Reynolds
  • Couldn't have had a better performance for Lena Lamont, or a better character

Cons:

  • Something this fun is unfortunately not eternal
  • The silly "Jazz Singer" number- pointless and somewhat risque
