I truly can't understand the people who rated this 1, I mean come on people its really worth more than that! You gotta take this movie for what it is, sure its not the greatest movie of all time but its a heartfelt feelgood movie who just makes you happy. Instead of scoffing James Cordon for his accent laugh with him for it. Its just like Stellan Skarsgårds singing in mamma mia, yet another fun adding to the prom.
Go see this film if you wanna have a good time and escape from reality!
Ps: I have to mention the catchy songs! They have been occupying my mind ever since a saw this.

One of the only movies like this that acknowledges how liberalism doesn't do much to change minds.
It's also not a coming out movie, which is nice, as that has been done too much and doesn't show the true experience.
So, yeah, it's not the best, I'm guessing the musical is better and would be fun to watch. James Corden is kinda annoying, hetero side relationship is boring, it's still kinda forced.
But hell, they finally got queer actors to play queer characters (besides James Corden, seriously, why dude).
I like that the "gay makeover scene" is a gay character dressing a gay character. I like Emma's first song.
My liberal family likes it, so it certainly reaches its audience. I hope it hasn't/doesn't win any awards though.
There are much better, more artistic or unique, less flashy and Hollywood, gay movies out there.
I'm a bit tired of Ryan Murphy doing the same thing all the time. I really loved Glee and thought it was groundbreaking but this movie is so disappointing. Okayyyyyy it's about inclusion , I'm all for it trust me and it's a good start. The cast was promising too.
I think Meryl Streep can play anything and she can sing. James Corden is a great talk show host but not a good actor. Nicole Kidman seems completely lost and does not bring anything to the table. Shame.
The only positive point is the two girls who are truly a revelation.
We gay people have been normalised (and that's a very good thing) to the point we can make movies just as bland as straight ones. I guess that's good news.
If you can get past the disastrous first 30 min and James Corden awful over acting the movie is pretty good. At times the film is bad really bad but then other times it's a lot of fun. It's one of those movies where you just have to go with the flow it is what it is. It's over the top but I think that's the point but does it work well at times it does and other times it's doesn't. The actors are underused there good but they could of been better but I'm not blaming the actors they did there best for what they got. Is this the best film or musical ever made no it doesn't come close but it's a fun musical.
