Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Too much of everything

Don't listen to the negative reviews

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Newsies is a musical phenomenon set in the time of the paperboy strikes of 1899 in New York City. It's a family-friendly tale of brotherhood among young boys in trying times and of the struggles that they were able to face together.The choreography is top notch for a film released in 1992, but it is not up-to-par with today's standards. Fortunately this is made up for by the absolutely stunning Broadway musical version of Newsies. The movie pales in comparison to the modern Broadway version, but at its time it was absolutely amazing. The Broadway version is currently still on tour throughout North America. It is still a hit among all audiences! When the film was originally released, its lovable characters and impressive musical scores were not enough to give it good viewings. At that time, the musical genre was not nearly as popular as it is today Though this movie is not the most historically accurate, it portrays the time period well through the excellent costumes, settings, and script of the movie. Overall this movie is definitely something I would love to watch again, and I know I could watch it with anyone. It truly is a wonderful story of brotherhood.

Newsies may have its fair share of cheesy lines and dance moves, but it surely danced away with my heart. Even though Newsies has some historical errors, it does have accurate facts as well. The musical brings up the unjust child labor wages and conditions, and it discusses the issues between the newsies and the printing presses. This musical revolves around a boy named Jack Kelly. Jack is the leader of the newsies and does not like the unfair wages being forced upon the newsies by the printer. Jack encourages the newsies to take a stand against the printing company and fight for better prices for the newspapers. The boys band together and go on a strike to try and fight for not only the newsies themselves, but for all people forced to pay too much for their supplies and children who work in unfair conditions.The musical not only has an awesome storyline, but the music, dancing, and acting are spectacular. The songs are catchy and fit perfectly with the situations that the characters are in. There are some awesome dances in there too, but some of them are a little cheesy. The acting in the film is astounding. The actors do an amazing job telling the story with a great amount of emotion. Due to these reasons, Newsies is definitely a film worth watching.

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.

Newsies, Informing and Entertaining Newsies is a 1992 musical inspired by the real-life New York City Newsboy Strike of 1899. Newsies is a Disney movie directed by Kenny Ortega that later became a Broadway musical. This movie features Christian Bale, also known for his appearance in The Dark Knight, playing Jack Kelly and David Moscow playing David Jacobs. Newsies won a Razzie Award for Worst Original Song. It was also nominated for a Young Artist Award for an Outstanding Young Ensemble Cast in a Motion Picture. It starts off with a group of newspaper boys. The leader of the group is Jack Kelly, 17, who is known for a trouble-making past. When prices of the newspapers raise, Jack Kelly and the newsies, make a stand to go against the man in charge, Pulitzer. The boys find ways to go against the newspaper to be heard. Newsies, a family-friendly movie, is a classic movie for all to enjoy. Although there were a few unnecessary characters brought into the film, overall it was an amazing movie. The soundtrack is very catchy and the choreography is fun and personalized for each boy. Newsies brings attention to the harsh reality of struggle that the young boys went through. I would strongly recommend this informing, yet interesting movie.
