Ratings and reviews

This is honestly hands down the best movie I've ever seen. I've watched it more times than I care to count or even remember. I'd recommend this movie to any real movie buff. It's got everything to mind blowing swing routines to a amazing storyline. You can't go wrong with this movie in your collection or as a movie night watch. You will fall in love with this movie

This was a good movie it really showed the relationship between friends. "You either march to one tune of dance to the other." Christian Bale went from Jack Kelly (Newsies 1992) to Thomas Berger in one year. Great! :)

It is the very best movie ever! It talks about what happens in the war and how they have to live! Its very sad but good movie:)
