Review of Carousel (2013) by Megan S — 20 Aug 2007

Totally cheesy and silly. It was really dumb. And there were several neverending song and dance numbers...they just went on forever. I thought the State Fair songs were silly but these were even worse.

At one point they were having a clam bake on an island and that had just sung about how awesome the month of June is before the scene. They were sitting there and a character asked them all if they had a good time and they broke into another song starting with "we had a real nice clam bake.

.." So 3/4 of the movie was about the man and the events going up towards his death interspersed with scenes of him in purgatory trying to argue his case and go down to his daughter. He was on earth for like 2 seconds in the movie and he tried to talk to his daughter and ended up hitting her.

They let him have more time and go see her graduate and the way he saved the day was to whisper "believe it" in her ear while she was singing a song.
