Review of Grease (DVD)

What a glorious feeling..

Advantages: Catchy, bright, cheerful and surprisingly funny
Disadvantages: Its a musical: this will be enough for some

Singin' In the Rain (1952) 103 Minutes Dir: Stanley Donen, Gene Kelly. Starring: Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, Debbie Reynolds, Jean Hagen I should've subtitled this 'I don't like musicals, but' As a rule, I'd give most films where the lead bursts into song a wide berth. For me, a film is credible (and therefore enjoyable) if you can believe in what is unfolding on the screen. How can you suspend belief if the actors suddenly start singing Cole ...
...instance my girlfriend cajoled me to watching 'Rent'. Don't get me wrong: it's worthy, serious stuff, but I had to turn it off after five minutes. Personally, I am no musicals expert. Wouldn't be able to be analyse one on technical details alone. However, if a musical entertains me (like Mamma Mia did), it gets my seal of approval and I'd watch it repeatedly. 'Singin' In The Rain' certainly fits the bill. Even a philistine like me can enjoy the ...

...and none more so than Singin' in the Rain starring Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor and Debbie Reynolds. This lovely film has got it all - romance, comedy and lots of great singing and dancing along with a couple of downpours for good measure! I recently received the DVD of this film for my birthday and the other day we all sat down as a family to watch this great film. Even my four year old daughter really enjoyed it! Singin' in the Rain (made in 1952) ...
...Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly) and Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen) are big silent movie stars. However, when the movie production company starts to make talking pictures there is a big problem because it soon transpires that Lina's voice is terrible. No one knows what to do about this until Don meets the beautiful Cathy Seldon (Debbie Reynolds). She is also an actress, on the stage, and Don's great friend Cosmo (Donald O'Connor) comes up with the idea that Cathy ...
