"I'm not really into musicals but this one was pretty entertaining. Some of the subplots were a little confusing but the essence of this movie is an immigrant story about love, hope, inspiration and a basic sense of community in the melting pot that is Washington Heights.
The acting was average at best and the movie's runtime was too long, but what sets this movie apart is the many wonderful musical numbers throughout the film. I found myself tapping my feet and actually dancing in my seat more than a few times. That alone is worth the price of admission.
6.5/10"
"REWATCH: I will never forgive y’all for not giving this film its flowers when it first came out. This is the standard we need to hold modern movie musicals to. The music and singing are top notch. The editing and cinematography is inventive and entertaining, but also tells the story visually. The choreography is out of this world. Jon Chu did the dang thing with this movie and I better see y’all respecting him when Wicked comes out next month. The man knows how to direct a musical."

"The singing was enjoyable I actually think it fit well in the movie and made it easy to watch not right away but after the first song it was enjoyable. Definitely check it out if you like musicals and enjoy a nice storytelling film. "

"If you somehow missed the delights of Lin Manuel Miranda’s genius musical works, you have another chance. This is a movie adaptation of the critically acclaimed Broadway musical of the same name that has been blessing broadway fans for years. The show follows a group of friends who navigate life as they prepare to make their dreams come true. This musical is filled with fantastic music and a feel-good vibe that will make you wish you lived in Washington Heights. While the show does have a beautiful story, it does lack in acting a bit. Some of the plot lines had me a bit confused, but overall this musical is an excellent watch for when you are looking for a great musical and a feel-good movie. I rate this musical a 3.5/5.
