An adaptation of the successful stage musical based on Victor Hugo's classic novel set in 19th-century France, in which a paroled prisoner named Jean Valjean seeks redemption.
Awful lot of bitching in these comments. There's a plethora of adaptations to choose from, they churn them out like twice a decade. I'm sure this will be at least in the top 3 nonetheless.
I'm not learned in the ways of music but it's not exactly like the cast are like drunken karaoke night at your local.
As for direction and cinematography, it may not be as good as we have come to know Hooper for but at least you're still getting an experience you can't get from the theatre.

I felt like I was celebrating my 80th birthday by the end of this movie.

I hate to admit it but Hathaway steals the show.

This movie made my hate for Musicals stronger. Not even Helena could save it.
