I read the reviews prior to seeing it myself. I was skeptical but wanted to make my own opinion. I should have listened....This version of the movie is completely overrated. It has a great cast, but has nothing on the original version. They cut alot of key scenes and lines from the original and added their own twist on this version. If they would have just redid the original it may have been better. It's too much singing and dancing for me. Then how you gone make Nettie light skinned, really? Then the ending.... c'mon now...I could have saved my money and streamed it.
