SING
* * * ½
(Joyful, Uplifting, Musical Cartoon Feature)
Kids and adults are the target audience for this joyful, uplifting, musical cartoon feature that features just about every living creature on this earth, from snails to elephants.
Buster Moon (voice of Matthew McConaughey) has inherited the family theatre. Times are tough, and Buster has to come up with a way to save the icon. How about a singing contest?
There's only one small problem. While printing the flyers, an extra zero is added to the prize, attracting hundreds of contestants.
We get backstories on the finalists, including a pig housewife with dozens of kids and a clueless husband; a pair of porcupines, with only one chosen, causing some real friction; a mouse who sounds and acts like Sinatra; and a gorilla who comes from a crime family but wants nothing more than to sing.
Giving good voices singing popular songs adds to the fun, as Buster puts the finalists through hours of rehearsals to come up with the big show.
Disaster strikes. The theatre is destroyed. What to do? As we all know, the show must go on, and it does, leading to a spectacular finale.
“Sing” is not a Christmas movie per se, but it sure has more spirit and hope than most of the stuff that claims that genre. The animals are a delight, and the music is fabulous.
Rated PG.
