Carry-On 2024

★★★½ Watched 14 Dec 2024

I'm glad we see all the action from…

Two and a half hours later…
More, please.
This is precisely how to adapt a Broadway musical. John Chu understands that theatre and film have different rhythms, and you can’t jump from one song to another every two to five minutes. It can get exhausting. Sure, fans of the music will be in heaven, especially with the likes of Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, and Jonathan Bailey belting out said songs, but the story doesn’t get enough room to breathe.
