The raw and riveting musical stars Rosario Dawson, Taye Diggs, Wilson Jermaine Heredia, Jesse L. Martin, Idina Menzel, Adam Pascal, Anthony Rapp and Tracie Thoms and is directed by Chris Columbus.

Mal etwas anderes. Ich finde, dass der Film augezeichnet ist aber es gibt einige Dinge, die mir nicht gefahlen. Das was mich am meisten ärgert ist, dass es keine Deutsch Version gibt. Ich denke die Arbeit hätte sich gelohnt. Die ganze Zeit den Untertitel zu lesen ist nicht gerade angenehm. Die Music finde ich sehr gut. Der Film erhält Themen, die sehr aktuelle sind wie AIDS und Armut und grad wie im Film das Leben der Freunde gezeigt wird finde isch sehr gut, die Filmmacher haben Ihre Arbeit gut gemacht. Es lohnt sich diesen Film zu sehen.
