Console best movie i've ever seen.

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

angelaaquila One of my favourite movies growing up, and still is. A great musical for the whole family.

Sam Transporting back to 1899 New York, you are brought back to the era of yellow journalism and the time of the newsies. Newsies is a movie that Disney that produced in 1992 that follows the lives of young boys known as "newsies" through New York as they go on strike. Jack Kelly, played by Christian Bale, is an orphan in the streets of New York City and is considered the leader of the newsies. Early on, he befriends David and Les Jacobs and the three of them become the central forces of the strike that happens later on in the movie. The strike of the newsies started out when Joseph Pulitzer raised the price that they sold the newspapers to the boys. Throughout the movie, Jack and the newsies go through many ups and downs during the strike.With a plot that takes many twists and turns throughout the movie, Newsies will take you on an emotional roller coaster. Love, anger, and betrayal reveal themselves constantly during the movie.With Newsies going on to become a major Broadway musical, it is a given that the choreography and soundtrack are out of this world. Kenny Ortega, who was at the time a rising director and choreographer, directs this movie and makes it into a wonderful on- screen adaptation of the time period.

cooka-64791 Newsies: Full of Enthusiasm and Energy! Full of enthusiasm and energy, Newsies, did not disappoint. Produced by Walt Disney and directed by Kenny Ortega, the lively film is based on real life events that brought attention to the immoral ethics regarding child labor in the 1890's. This film was spectacular in capturing the essence of the time period. Watching Newsies transported you to what New York City was like at that time. Released in 1992, the film brought character and youthful passion to the big screens while also capturing the historical aspects that are important to understand. These aspects would include the living conditions that the "newsies", the paper boys, experienced and the era where child labor was prominent. Starring a misfit gang of teenage boys, the leaders of the group, Jack Kelly (Christian Bale) and David Jacobs (David Moscow), project the confidence needed to spur the newsies into action for their fight against Joseph Pulitzer (Robert Duvall). As the main villain, Pulitzer showcased the time in America's history where the media and press tended to be emerged in Yellow Journalism, which many times helped the boys sell the newspapers due to the radical headlines. Although not all of the plot was historically accurate, one can understand the gist of what the movie was based on. I enjoyed the film tremendously because all of the actors were lively and had distinct personalities that contributed to the humor and realism in each plot. If you're looking for a feel-good movie to watch, Newsies is the perfect candidate. This film is engaging and fun for all ages with timeless songs and unique choreography that will make you want to get up and sing along!

mcsweeneys You know that bad picture from grade school that you don't dare show anyone because it's just too… embarrassing? That must be how the multiple successful actors in Newsies feel after watching their performance in the 1992 film. With poor acting, B+ at best singing, and sloppily added in side plots, this film is two thumbs down! The story starts out in 1899 New York City, where Jack Kelly (Christian Bale), your generic "rebellious hero" character and unofficial leader of the newspaper boys, or newsies, makes his entrance in a poorly choreographed song that sets the scene for the rest of the blunderous movie. With the amount of unlikely fight scenes that seem as though created by a little boy (because our hero obviously never gets hit, he's too perfect!), you begin to wonder if Bale used this movie as training for his Dark Knight films. The predictable plot continues, and we are introduced to lovable, Disney cookie-cutter characters such as Crutchie, Davey, and Les. The diversity is much appreciated, as it is always fresh and exciting to watch a film all about boys, because who needs gender equality? Between the forced accents and multiple mentions of big, bad, Brooklyn, you sure can't forget the setting of the story! The 121 minute flick can get a little slow, but if you ever get sleepy, you can count on off-key singing to wake you right back up. The worst part of this family-friendly movie was the completely unnecessary romance angle that was squeezed in and left us all confused. Jack meets his partner Les' sister once and by the end of the movie they're walking off into the sunset together, which contradicts the whole message of the film, which is something like brotherhood, solidarity, and trust. If you are ever unfortunate enough to watch this movie, make sure to get comfy, it's going to be a long two hours.
