Review of Dear Evan Hansen (2021) by Bea25 — 27 Sep 2021

Honestly, the movie is bad. The adaption of this amazing Broadway musical is just really, really pedestrian. The songs and performances continue to be great though. But the movie itself is as bad as The Greatest Showman, which is not surprising.

Having said that, many reviews in here take the hate they have towards Evan and apply that to everything else. You can and should be able to see the qualities of any movies despite how horrible some characters are.

Evan isn't a poorly developed character; he is simply a bad person that happens to suffer from anxiety. This is a movie about a bad person. It just also happens to be a bad movie.
