Ratings and reviews

This movie was based off Devin Doran (from Quincy Illinois) and his "in the closet" partner Patrick from hacking my phone and making it where I was Livestreaming for two years! They'll Rob you blind if you place an order and hack your phones computers ECT. I know from experience! Don't buy this!!!

It’s a movie that got made. Some decisions were unwise (whoever thought Ben Platt looked good in all that makeup needs a psych evaluation), but for the most part, the movie is nice and does somewhat convey the message and imagery of the original musical.

A good story to be watched by the whole family. Has lots of lessons for both parents and kids. Ben Platt did a wonderful job with his performance in this movie, acting all scared and naive... I really admired that. The good selection of music and voice performances made this a worthy watch, highly recommend this.
