I'm a huge fan of musicals and I went to watch this today.
Even though there's some good things about this movie, I can't exactly recommend this to anyone because it's terrible.
It doesn't actually have a plot, it's just one song after the other, and most songs don't work and all of the musical numbers are uninspiring (I can't believe that it was directed by the same guy who did Les Mis).
It gets boring after the 4th song and it's such a drag, even for musical lovers.
I think the main problem is they forgot that a movie must have a script to keep audiences interested. It looks like they just made a copy of the play, but lacking the good dancing and energy.
And yes, Jennifer Hudson singing Memory is incredible and Francesca Hayward was not that bad, but it doesn't take away the fact that, in general, it's a horrible movie.
