Such a good film, a must see! Touching and deep, but not Indie. Actually has some fun dance scenes that are tolerable for a change! It would be a great Broadway production! It also has some great songs in it, "Santa... Full review

I felt that from all of Christian Bale's recent movies that this one was a different side of the actor. Kenny Ortega as usual did an excellent job directing. Overall the movie was believable and entertaining. On a scale of one... Full review

This is literally one of my favorites. I think the dancing is way above the general public's heads and that's why it did not fair well in the theater. I enjoy it everytime I watch it.... Full review

This is one of my favorite movies. The original music and wonderful choreography is a joy to watch. This is not your typical musical. Christian Bale gives an excellent performance both musically and theatrically. It may be too much for kids... Full review

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.

and some of them even fit into a Disney Film like Newsies.....A truly genius film that is highly disturbing but also a master piece.....I stumbled on it by accident and it is one of my all time favorite sci-fi future films.....The fact I purchased it for $50 should show you just how powerful this movie is..... ...

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.

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.
