Review of Singin' in the Rain (1952) by Jake O — 21 Nov 2012
It's okay. I expected more from such a highly revered film. It is about 30 minutes of plot (an extremely weak one, at that) stretched out far past it's limits. It seems as though the plot was just a feeble device to string together a bunch of dance sequences- dance sequences that repeat the same moves over and over.
Impressive, but repetitive. This movie is all show. I think hollywood overestimates how interested people are in movies about hollywood. Maybe it was wrong for me to hope for anything deeper than surface-level gloss.
But I did. And I was pretty disappointed.
