movie review - Sing
the journal of Michael Werneburg
Toronto, 2017.04.24
I wonder if any good movie ever had the word "Sing" in the title. This one has that word and isn't good. It's an animated flick about a guy who wants to save his old theater by hosting a singing competition. My five year old ate it up but I found the whole thing annoying. The "heroes" are typified by Seth MacFarlane's mouse character: they're not compelling. Also, the song selection feels stilted, like it was all chosen according to which major label publishes it.
Not recommended.
