yeah, i kind of agree with this. it takes a complicated and nuanced issue, and just paints it with the broadest brushstrokes possible.

We watched it too and wanted to love it, but ended up laughing more than the director intended.
Maybe I'm jaded because I've seen the show 6-7 times, but I hated most of the performers.
Adult Cosette sounded like Snow White or Cinderella. Grown up Marius sounded like a kid trying to sing in a grown up voice.
Russell Crowe was god awful and ruined two of my favorite songs from the show.
Thank God they cast Samantha Barks as Eponine. The one redeeming performance.
Hathaway and Jackman were decent, but after seeing Colm Wilkinson (playing the bishop in the film) as Jean Val Jean and watching the 10th and 25th Anniversary shows on PBS, I'm spoiled.
And where they added songs/dialogue in some parts, it was curious they lopped off Beggars at the Feast at the end. Too politically incorrect?
Meh, just one man's opinion.

Watched it last night and agree. It's odd. I'm not sure I'd recommend it either, but not because it wasn't good. It was sorta like a creepy version of a PSA or instructional-beware video, and very well done. Did like.

i think if it was purely a work of fiction, it would be a much weaker movie. it benefits a great deal from knowing the context surrounding it.
