it was an overall okay movie. Sure the songs were forgetable if you listen to them ONCE. If you listen to them a few times you will remember them, and all the actors were great!! It was kinda dark but it was REALISTIC!!!!! That why the fans of the original did not like it, because the original was happy and bubbuly but this one was more dark and shows what some families have to go through. I honestly like the movie but i do agree that the original is better.
