Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: This film's real trouble lies in its joyless, pointless execution.
Rotten: The movie stands as a textbook demonstration of why they don't -- and probably shouldn't -- make 'em like they used to.
Rotten: The writers have created cardboard cutouts instead of flesh-and-blood characters.
Fresh: An old-fashioned musical that is better when its characters sing and dance than when they talk.

I Need Newsies. Let us buy it not just rent it. A lot of people would buy it. FACT!!"
Newsies
The critics need to take a good look at themselves. Apparently their hearts are three sizes too small. This is one of the greatest movies ever, and I myself draw a LOT of inspiration from it and the soundtrack. Joyless, pointless execution? This movie is exactly the opposite!
Rent? I want to BUY!
This movie is SO good and I've been waiting for it to come out on iTunes....so that I can BUY it, not rent it.
I especially love Christian Bale in this movie. It was the first movie with him that I had seen and now he is one of my favorite actors and I absolutely adore him <3
