It's tough to fight the longstanding consensus that this is the greatest movie musical of all time, but what's often lost in the praise is that this also qualifies as a great comedy. Go to Full Review Daniel Barnes Dare Daniel Nov 5

Unbelievable the level of suffering that these people went through to create the most exuberantly joyful movie ever made. Go to Full Review Chance Solem-Pfeifer Willamette Week 01/28/2025
It’s an extravaganza of color, joy and mockery of hokey romances, but perhaps above all, you couldn’t re-create the miracle of Gene Kelly’s footwork with a billion-dollar supercomputer and a contract with the devil. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Eric J 01/30/2025 Delightful movie, made the old fashion way. No computer graphics, no explosions, no improbable stunts. Plenty of singing, dancing, and humor. Overall a very entertaining, upbeat movie. I dont think ive ever smiled so much over the course of a movie before. See more Kat S @Xiomara011 20h Singin' in the Rain is a film that carried a lot of importance during its era, and I can see why it became such a classic. If I had lived during that time, I probably would have loved it even more. I still really enjoyed the film, especially the way it blended musical numbers so seamlessly into the plot. The comedy adds a lot of charm and keeps the movie entertaining throughout. The performances, choreography, and overall energy make it a memorable and timeless film. See more Patricia P @STARLATINA 2d Singin' in the Rain was fun and entertaining. I liked the music and dancing because the performances were energetic and creative. Some scenes were funny, and the movie had a happy feeling. Even though it is an older movie, it still feels enjoyable today. See more Austin L @RT95163508 2d Good movie, but I am not into musicals or old fashion movies so not for me. See more Josue P @RT26164816 4d Singin in the Rain is a very great film, with a bit of romantic and joyful background music. Also, it emphasizes on theatrical acting, seamless editing and also self reflexive commentary on the shift on to sound cinema. 100% recommended. See more Rebecca O. @Rebecca_Orona 4d One of the most memorable movie I ever watched by the choreography, singing and acting play these three actors did. See more Read all reviews
