I find the one-star reviews hilarious. People saying they sing too much... IT'S A MUSICAL for crying out loud! Then others are saying they don't understand rap. You people are killing me.LOL. I, on the other hand, found this brilliant, smart, and well written. I hadn't seen this on Broadway, so I was glad to have a chance to watch a movie version with the original cast. From the very beginning, although it was obvious that I was in for a very sophisticated production, it convincingly incorporated urban colloquialisms, rap styles, and music to tell a story of people and time which existed 2 centuries before the hip-hop music genre was even invented. Good job.
