Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great family movie. My mom's love of Christian Bale started with this movie before he hit the big time. The music/dancing is entertaining without being too campy. I enjoyed the storyline. It's one of the movies from my late childhood that I remember and bought as a gift to my mom - she wore her VHS version out. I have no idea if its historically accurate but it is a good period movie and whether or not the story is based in real life, the basic premise of the movie shows quite a bit of the time period. Side note: While Bill Pullman is a good actor, I'm not sure singing is one of his best attributes. :)DVD Review: Good Music and Good Story
Summary: 4 Stars
I am a musical fanatic, so I enjoy muscials. I'm glad that there are some modern musicals out there to enjoy. I love the music and dancing in Newsies, I also love the story about the newsies. There are some great actors in this one, some who are okay, but over all a great flick.DVD Review: Mike
Summary: 5 Stars
I like some musicals and Newsies is a great one. The cast is terrific, the story based on fact and the music pulls you right along. This film inspires feelings of sadness, hopefulness, despair and victory. It is fun and engaging and one you'll want to watch many times.
Description of Newsies (Collector's Edition)
Starring Academy Award(R)-winner Robert Duvall (Best Actor -- TENDER MERCIES, 1983) and screen favorite Ann-Margret, here's the true story of a courageous group of newsboys who become unlikely heroes when they team up to fight an unscrupulous newspaper tycoon. Determined to make their dreams come true, they find the courage to challenge the powerful! Critically acclaimed from coast to coast -- if you're looking for must-see, feel-good entertainment, NEWSIES delivers!Except for feature-length animation, the musical has gone the way of the dinosaur. The Walt Disney company took a stab at reviving the live-action musical in 1992 with Newsies, a throwback picture with a curious subject. In 1899, the pint-sized newsboys delivering the New York papers go on strike against the unfair practices of news magnates Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst. The production is heavy on kiddie humor, although Christian Bale (the child star of Spielberg's Empire of the Sun) is charismatic as one of the older leaders of the revolt. The adult stars don't fare as well, with Robert Duvall doddering around as Pulitzer and Ann-Margret and Bill Pullman doing decorative duty. The film was not well received when first released, but hindsight reveals its charm (and allowed the young target audience to catch up with the picture on video). The first-time director is Kenny Ortega, the choreographer of Dirty Dancing, who brings plenty of energy to the action. --Robert Horton
