Movie #1437 "Angels Sing" has a ton of music that I think most people who enjoy music in their films would enjoy. Yes, it has a storyline, but the music enriches it in so many ways (and scenes) --- it's always in the background (and sometimes in the foreground). I'm thinking Harry Connick, Jr insisted on it, and he had friends come along to do their thing as transitions, etc. Anyway, the storyline includes a bah humbug kind of attitude that the dad has (due to a past tragedy during the xmas season) which now goes to the son when his grandpa dies in a car accident that he thinks he might have caused. To get the son revved up for the season, the father must decorate and get excited so it rubs off on his son. That's a very universal idea that works for this film, and it carries along the audience with it, I am guessing. I give it a 3.5 out of 5.
"ANGELS SING" 2013 1 hour and 30 minutes PG
December 25 holds no joy for Michael Walker, whose brother died on Christmas decades ago in a tragedy Michael still blames on himself. After purchasing a house in a yule-mad neighborhood, however, Michael begins to see beyond his own sadness.
