Christian Spotlight on the Movie
Perhaps not appealing to the older generations as much as those in mine, Newsies is a fun-filled and meaningful romp with a good message in sticking together through thick and thin.
The only other caution I might forebear in mentioning is the fact that adults play an almost nonexistent role-the case rests entirely on the shoulders of the young Newsies, some of which are rather rowdy.

Newsies strives admirably to be great, but misses its mark.
I realize this is the pot calling the kettle blue (my kitchenware is different than most), but when you do something this extravagant (and especially when you're trying to revive the musical as a viable form of cinema, as Newsies was attempting), then you must be sure that the person carrying the picture can not only act and sing, but do both very well.

Kids (and adults) of all ages will love this family movie.
All of the dance numbers were choreographed by Kenny Ortega, who is best known for his memorable work in Dirty Dancing.

In the movie, though, it's a big success, led by a charming, singing, dancing Christian Bale.
The story, a footnote in history that merits one sentence at most, is blown entirely out of proportion -- two hours long and, as mentioned above, the factual opposite of what really happened.

Washington Post
In reproducing the feel of beloved old movie musicals, the filmmakers have come up with just that -- a reproduction.
Bale, in particular, makes a strong impression; he could be a budding star.
