DEC

2007

I had no clue about what this movie was about except for John Travolta being dressed in drag. Upon reading more about it I decided to take my daughter with me - who knew who Zac Efron is and of course she was ready to go. Although I was unsure how the message would be interpretted by my daughter once the dancing and signing was over - I still loved it. This was a great movie that my daughter could both enjoy and maybe actually learn something about the history of that era in this country. I had such a great time watching and signing along to the catchy tunes and so did my daughter. We vowed to buy the movie as soon as it comes out on dvd!
