I enjoyed the dancing and the costumes and how similar it was to the original movie. However, the extra scene with the MLK references and the freedom marches and all of that REALLY threw it off for me. It took me completely out of the moment and just made me confused wondering if I had forgotten this huge chunk of the movie. It just didn't fit. It feels like some kind of political message was being shoved down by throat, and while I like a political point as much as the next person, this wasn't the time or place. It was a distraction more than anything.
And some of the acting was corny and unbelievable. The young lady who sang most of the songs was AMAZING.
