Loved this movie more than I would have expected! It is perfect for today’s world and showed diversity, talent, and humor. I expect the bad reviews came from people who find change difficult because as a classic we know the story one way, but as a remake we see this as a story for everyone in today’s world. I especially appreciate film that carries the message of women empowerment and if others feel threatened by that message I can see why this would not be a movie they would love. I strongly recommend this for families of all backgrounds as I found the message to be a positive one while being a fun and entertaining film to watch. After the first 20 minutes I realized this remake was a different version and from there to the end found it extremely entertaining and uplifting and even got off my chair and was dancing to the music!!
