Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

angelaaquila One of my favourite movies growing up, and still is. A great musical for the whole family.

veikj Newsies is a musical phenomenon set in the time of the paperboy strikes of 1899 in New York City. It's a family-friendly tale of brotherhood among young boys in trying times and of the struggles that they were able to face together.The choreography is top notch for a film released in 1992, but it is not up-to-par with today's standards. Fortunately this is made up for by the absolutely stunning Broadway musical version of Newsies. The movie pales in comparison to the modern Broadway version, but at its time it was absolutely amazing. The Broadway version is currently still on tour throughout North America. It is still a hit among all audiences! When the film was originally released, its lovable characters and impressive musical scores were not enough to give it good viewings. At that time, the musical genre was not nearly as popular as it is today Though this movie is not the most historically accurate, it portrays the time period well through the excellent costumes, settings, and script of the movie. Overall this movie is definitely something I would love to watch again, and I know I could watch it with anyone. It truly is a wonderful story of brotherhood.

Maria Kenny Ortega may have produced a movie boasting the "King of New York", but in my eyes, the Broadway production sits on a much higher throne. Disney's version of Newsies had great ideas, but failed to execute the dance and song of the brilliant Broadway show. From the opening curtain to the final bow I was enthralled, and completely fixated on the flawless stage performance. Months later, I sat down and watched the movie version. The 1992 family film failed to wow me, and received similar reactions from the public.Jack Kelly (Christian Bale) and Davey (David Moscow) set out with their fellow newsies to bring the New York "papes" to the people. When Pulitzer (Robert Duvall) raised the price of the newspapers, a rebellion arose. The rest of the intriguing plot unfolds in a 2 hour running time. On a scale from one to ten, with ten as the best, I would give the film version a solid 6. Overall, I was underwhelmed by the dancing, acting, and fighting throughout the film. Their accents were articulate and exaggerated, but I was disappointed by many other aspects. My rating of the Broadway version would sit at a 10. Having won awards such as the Tony's in 2012, it held to that standard with a stunningly articulate performance. Newsies is a family movie with potential, but paled in comparison to the Broadway show.

kellenk-61694 1992 Musical is a Must SeeA 1992 musical starring young, fiery boys ready to take on the world is here to stay. Newsies, a Disney movie directed by Kenny Ortega, has been out for more than 20 years and is still watched by many.The movie surrounds the real story of young boys in New York who sell newspaper for a living. It touches on the harsh reality of the lives of boys at this time. The movie goes on to show the progress of these boy's strike against the newspaper companies. The movie very closely follows the historical events of the time, which makes it more informative, but also interesting to watch. Newsies amazing success is due in part to the cast. Characters such as Jack Kelly, played by Christian Bale, and David, played by David Moscow, made the show thrilling and lovable. Actor Robert Duvall, who played Pulitzer, seemed to lack character and passion. Although Duvall's character dragged, the overall effect was amazing. Another strong point through the musical was the dancing and singing. The choreography was spectacular and added a deeper level to the movie. In my opinion on Newsies is that is is a lovable, family friendly movie that is a must see for all. I would give this movie 4 ½ stars out of 5 and recommend that you go see it as soon as you can.
