DH and I went to see it, and we both found it entertaining. I thought the singing was okay - you could understand the words - but there are only 2 songs that I actually like, and then there's one, "Masters of the House", that is an annoying ear worm that I can't shake after several days. The plot moved along. Hugh Jackman was outstanding in his role.
I did not care for the fairytale ending, but much of the audience, which was packed, cheered and clapped at the end! This does not happen very often at a movie. This was a matinee showing, making the full house even more unusual. I'd say it was well worth watching, unless you just don't care for musicals. Teens need to know that this won't be a good source for a book report.
