This movie has bad messages throughout. One bad message is that villains remain villains. Villains CAN change, the movie does not show this. The ending is very violent! Women should leave violent men right away so they can get out of harms way.

A favorite from my childhood and a good introduction to the theater. My 7-yr old was interested in the story but didn't enjoy the musical numbers although he stuck with it (complaining all the while!) I think it works as a "boy's" musical. I'm sure he'll come around someday...

i saw it at school and it was a wonderful movie ive ever seen, i thought it was gonna be boring, but its not, it got a bit more fun musical than ever... the songs i like in this movie is where they all sing consider yourself, theres nothin bad but one bad message is that villains remain villains and villains can change... there are some thrills like bill kills nancy and bill got a shotgun at the end, oliver runs in peril, and there are plenty of perils also, one bad word "a--" is said once in this rated g movie... i will recommend 8 years and up should watch too cause its a good movie, they may get bored when there are talking parts in this though
