Summary: This wonderful picture will make you wanna sing...
Comment: Who doesn't know the words to the song `Singin' in the Rain'? I mean, seriously, even if you have
yet to see the movie I'm sure you could sing that song word for word right now.

Go
ahead; I'll wait.

The thing is that I too had never seen this movie yet knew all those
words and it made me question just why it was that I never sat down to watch this beloved musical.
I am not really a huge musical lover, but then again, I've never been one to disregard a movie
because of genre before. I'll watch anything at least once. So, when this came on TCM a few months
ago I just had to watch it. I got everything ready for `movie night' (the drinks, the friends, the
snacks) and I settled in to watch what has steadily been considered one of the top ten movies of all
time.

I loved it!

Everything about this movie fits so perfectly into one
another. The music is divine, the performances are stellar, the set pieces are delicious and the
script is fun, fresh and wholly entertaining. There is not a single misstep here. It's not the
best movie of all time, but it works magic with every fiber of its being.

The film
tells of film star Don Lockwood as he struggles to transition himself from `silent' film star to
`talkie' film star. His frequent costar and rumored lover Lina Lamont is a selfish and spoiled diva
whose voice is just not suited for film, so a young and talented singer named Kathy Selden is hired
to dub her voice for their upcoming film. When Don falls in love with Kathy things get out of hand.
Lina is furious and it becomes apparent that their love affair could sink the whole picture. />
Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor make a wonderful team here, feeding off each others energy
to create some of the most impressive and widely acclaimed dance numbers in musical history. Solo
they are spectacular, but together they are even better; and what is so awesome is that when Debbie
Reynolds (who is so refreshingly spunky here) jumps in she makes the perfect pair into a vibrant
threesome. The real scene stealer though is Jean Hagen. She may not sing or dance but she acts her
tail off, delivering an iconic comedic performance that will have you rolling in your seats. />
I haven't had this much fun watching a movie in a long time (I tend to prefer the dramatic
and depressing films, so this was a nice change of pace). I've since seen the film again and loved
it just as much if not more the second time around. This is a film designed to make you smile, and
is succeeds at doing just that.

Summary: Singing in the rain, never be repeated
Comment: This is a realy good classic. And wonderful restored I must say.
I just like the music and the
performance of Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O'Connor. This movie has nearly everything you
would expect
from a movie like this. The classic scene of course never repeated when />Gene starts to dance in the puddles and the policeman is watching him ...

really need to.

Customer Rating:

Summary: A timeless film, fun and entertaining for everyone
Comment: We first watched this movie as a family about 5 years ago, and Donald O'Connor cracked my son up
while Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds entranced my daughter. Now, 5 years later, we purchased the
movie for the holidays, and everyone loved it just as much again. We had to repeat "Make 'Em Laugh"
a couple of times, and the music and dancing dazzled everyone throughout. The story is fun, too. A
classic movie with a vibrancy and joy that transmits cleanly through time to all ages. What great
fun!
