Strikingly well done

I'm not a big fan of musicals. They usually leave me feeling that they're very artificial, the story of a play being an excuse for some music. This film transcends that. The story is engrossing, the cast superb as they transform from one character into another each believably full fleshed. As other reviewers have noted, the story itself transforms over the course of the film - revliving the horror of 9/11, the confusion and panic of those caught up in its consequences, the struggle for acceptance and liberation from stereotypes, but above it all the incredible generous hospitality of a little town shown to fellow human beings in trouble. And with it all, the vocal performances are excellent. It's the whole package.

Best seat in the house

I'm not positive this is a great "film," but it sure is great theater. The director's previous experience was mostly with the stage, and that comes through - he wants us to experience the magic, from scene changes to choreography. So eventually it feels like you are in the best seat in the house. And that lasts long enough to be genuinely moved by these stories that refuse to be anything other than optimistic about humanity.
