Newsies is a hit!
Catchy songs, great dancing, and lovable characters; sounds like the 1992 classic Newsies. Not only is Newsies entertaining, it is also true. It is based on factual events that happened in and around the New York City area. The characters aren't bad to look at either. The main character, Jack Kelly, is played by the handsome Christian Bale.
Most critics dislike Christian Bale and his role in Newsies. But, I disagree. I thought that dancing and singing were a great way to display the hardships that the Newsies went through in 1899. I also think the love story between Jack and Sarah was a great way to relate the movie to young teens. The only downside of Newsies is that not all of it is entirely factual. For example, in the movie the newsies' strike is successful, and the actual strike against Pulitzer was not successful. So, to conclude, Newsies had its ups and downs, but I thought overall, it was an all around good movie. I would give Newsies four out of five stars. I awarded Newsies with four stars for the great songs, excellent choreography, and fun story line, but not all five because not all of the movie is factual.
