Review:
This is one of my most favorite movies of all time. The first time I saw it I was a little freaked out (not expecting what I saw), but it is really a movie. The songs are great, the actors do such a good job. I've never seen the stage performance, but I can't believe that it would be better than the movie. Great songs to sing along with, and if Fredrik is really unlucky, I'll end up quoting the whole movie while we watch it. :D
