Em and I watched Newsies together recently. It's a fun, Disney, musical based on a strike of the newspaper sales boys in 1899 New York. I love that it has some basis in history, and Em and I both loved seeing Christian Bale (THE Batman) singing as a teenager (as much as I loved The Dark Knight, Bale's over the top gravel voice makes listening to him lilt along some showtunes all the more humorous). It was good, and entertaining, but ultimately the lack of any one song that REALLY grabbed either of us probably means that this was a good rental, but not something we'll need to purchase.3 out of 5 dance moves that looked like the belong in Batman fight scenes.

Jaacen, are you huggin kiddin me. My sisters have loved that movie since they were like 8 years old, something about all the hot guys.
Em loves the musicals so we rented it. She's 10, but luckily didn't mention anything about "hot guys" (I'm in a constant state of fear for the day Em starts thinking guys might be hot).
Also, I have a hard time giving anything less than 3 of 5. Something has to basically be WRONG with it to get 2 or lower. And while you wouldn't confuse it for a good movie, there really wasn't anything wrong with it. Plus "based on a true story" is always worth something in my book.
