Movie Review Of "Sing"
I can only imagine that most of you have already watched "Sing" on one of your fancy dancy Netflicky channels, but I saw it for the first time last night, and decided to give it my personal, expert review.
It was soooo adorable!!
If you haven't seen it, just think "American Idol" gone wacky, and without Simon, thank goodness!
It's animated, so when I first heard the voice of Buster Moon, I thought, "that's Matthew McConaughey's voice," but then I started reasoning stuff like, it wasn't a southern accent, McConaughey has a big southern accent.
I also concluded that Matt would not lower himself to do the voice of a little koala bear cartoon character. That would not be in character! Did I just use the word character twice? Sorry! I'm such a character, who has no character, when it comes to my blog.
My conclusions were delusions...it was McConaughey
If you have not seen this movie, stop reading! I don't mean to stop reading all together, but stop reading this particular blog article, unless you NEVER plan on watching "Sing," and that would be so sad because it's soooo adorable!!
Here is the sinopses, cynopsis, I never could spell synopsis of the movie...
Buster Moon (the little koala) owns a rundown theatre (or theater nowadays) that's going broke. He has an idea to have a singing competition to make money so the filthy bankers don't take it away.
This is not a scene from "Sing," just an exanple of a filthy banker...no wait...Jimmy Stewart was the banker...oh no!!
There's a lot of stuff about him offering $100,000 grand prize for the winner by mistake, when it was only gonna be $1,000, but we ain't got time for all that.
The BEST part for me was all the diverse characters who try out for the contest, and rehearse, in spite of family issues that they need to deal with.
Really, a complex narrative for a wacky cartoon.
A little less complex than this story.
Characters like a gangster gorilla with an Aussie accent (I think it's an Aussie accent), who really doesn't want to be a gangster, a hardworking, inventive, mommy pig, with 25 kids, who rigs up her house with mechanical machines to do the mommy work while she's rehearsing, a little streetwise mouse with a take charge attitude, who sings exactly like Sinatra, a super shy female elephant who reluctantly makes her way out on stage and...maybe I should not say anymore, because I honestly would not want to ruin this neo-classic movie for anyone.
You NEED to watch this COOL clip!!
As you may, or may not have noticed at the beginning, I gave it 4 stars. I would have given it 5 stars, but I ran out. I need to go to the "Star Store" for more.
In the comments section below, please tell me what YOU thought of "Sing."
If you have not seen it, tell me if you would like to see it, now that you've perused my review.
If you're not inclined to do so, tell me about your favorite pet of all time.
Anyway, I recommend "Sing" for children of all ages!
