I love whimsy and fun and if you don't like musical movies you hate whimsy and fun. yeah, I said it.
I'm talking la la land
I'm talking mamma mia
I'm talking Chicago
hell, I'm even talking about the MTV aired proshot of Legally Blonde.
song and dance numbers rule and that's what I have to say about thatÂ

I know there is a certain stigma around the "theater kid" but I love a musical. They (mostly) are a lot of fun and sometimes they can really make you cry and feel something. For instance, as I'm writing this I'm watching one of my all-time favorites "Gypsy" specifically the one with Bette Midler. This film is the original Dance Moms, literally a show about a mom who pushed her kids into show business so hard that one of them ran away and the other became a stripper (Okay burlesque dancer but the show is set in the 1920s so like the same thing). Now I should specify when I say musical I don't mean you should put on any of these new shows that are just adaptations of films with badly written scores. Watch any musical written pre-2010 and post-1950s and I can guarantee It will be a fun time (unless you're one of those people who says the singing doesn't make sense cause in the real world nobody would sing, stop hating fun!) All I'm gonna finish with is they are so fun and campy (sometimes) and often have lots of interesting ideas and ways of presenting them (like the film adaptation of Cabaret? so good).

It perfectly encapsulates the nostalgia of what summer always feels like it’s going to be, but somehow never is, in the depths of winter. Even if you hate musicals, it’s a must watch just for how feel-good it is. Especially if you are a woman, the mother and daughter storyline is just the right amount of heart-tugging to bring depth to the sunlit, giddy, and earworm-inducing songs and scenes of the film. I love a profound, intellectual movie as much as the next person, but when the world feels too serious (as it often does), it’s time to pop on Mamma Mia.
