I have never watched the whole thing, and I have had the patience to sit through; The second Matrix, I Spy, The Transporter, The Fan, The Mummy, and the Rock. I tend to be willing to watch almost anything once if asked to, and to reserve judgement untill the end. However after 30 minutes of immensely boring and uninteresting not to mention unbelievable (singing and dancing gangs? please) tripe, I turned it off. Now, I have an immense interest in theatre, and have liked most musicals I have seen, but this was indescribedly awful, so bad it was painful, I have no idea how this won anything other than a golden turkey.

  A movie I would never recomend anyone to watch. In fact I would be tempted to whack anyone who said this was this was there favorite movies. So if anyone says "hey lets watch west side story" Run run far.

Very fine musical with a fine cast. The music is the real star.

my son watched this movie and he was really impressed by it. i never wanted my kids to limit themselves to only their generation of likes and dislikes. i taught them to keep an open mind about things and if they did they would always continue to learn.
