This is a wonderful movie. One of the best "G" rated movies today. It doesn't try to dumb down the movie for kids. It doesn't need to. When I saw this with my friends, we became kids. Sure, we laughed at the tension between Molly and the accountant. We all said that we would love to work in a place like that. This movie made me laugh and, yes, cry. (Watch for the sock-monkey!) Dustin Hoffman is great as always and Natalie Portman really does a stunning job. If you want to feel like a kid again, then just go and watch this movie. You won't be disappointed.
This is a wonderful movie about the human mind. The plot may be pretty straight forward, but it touches your heart. Not only does it give you a glimpse into the human mind, but it also gives you a look into those in the public eye as well as the homeless. The characters are so well defined that you become attached to every single one of them. You find yourself rooting for certain characters. The language is very strong, and there are a couple of nude scenes, but it is great nonetheless.
Yay! Phantom of the Opera finally hits the big screen. After seeing the film, I went and saw the actual production onstage. They really did capture the feelings and stuff in the movie.
