Best movie of this year hands down!

I love this movie so much

Truly Dreadful Film

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I had never heard of wheelchair dancing, but thanks to this film, I now follow these artists and athletes with great joy. I loved the film, loved the characters, enjoyed some belly laughs and came away with a bigger view of the world. The theme of tolerance and acceptance resounded with both audiences with whom I saw this film, at both the Cinema Society of San Diego, then again at the Young Leaders Film Festival at the La Jolla Country Day School in San Diego. The film was received with enthusiasm by both groups, comprised of people from teenagers to senior citizens. At the Young Leaders Film Festival, the filmmaker made a special appearance and captivated the crowd. I hope she will continue to pursue such quality projects.

This film captures the challenges of spirit, hope, diversity and love. The actors light up the screen, the script is well written and the direction shows heart. I'm a fan of Laverne Cox - she's an actress who works hard but makes it seem natural. Also a very brave actress who challenges us to listen and learn from a woman who has a message for the world. Only she can tell it.The NYC shots were fun as were the portrait of Puerto Rican culture in NYC.The choreography wasn't too showy, a la mode for film. Stereotypes and minority portrayals are brilliantly written and broadcast with sensitivity and accuracy. The scene when the costume crew enters the hospital could have easily gone wrong. It didn't

This film's plot doesn't stray far from the rom-com bible but it does the genre proud. It's also packed full of wonderful characters who breath lots of life into a solid script.This is a great date movie or would be fantastic on a rainy Sunday afternoon. It's like a good meal with a funny friend - familiar without being at all boring. And, yes, it has a message but it's not a "message movie." The filmmakers obviously set out to entertain and they do a great job of it.The cast is fun and very good looking. And several of the characters are fresh and new, particularly Chantelle (Laverne Cox) who steals several scenes. EJ Bonilla is fantastic as the lead and does a wonderful love- sick puppy face (without ever over doing it).Overall, a really enjoyable film that leaves you wanting to know what is next for these characters - as any good film should.

I saw this film at the Woodstock Film Festival. Before I saw it, the whole premise of the movie sounded rather implausible to make a great film. But the director, Susan Seidelman surprises you every steps of the way. The amazing ensemble cast and funny jokes keep you entertained. And the film has some of the best dancing scenes in the recent years. I am not going to spoil it here, but you'll be surprised! The main character Armando, played by E.J.Bonilla is not only a great actor, but he has a charisma that carries the film. It's a story that could be easily turned into a soap opera, but Musical Chairs avoids every sentimentality and still keeps it emotional. In the end, the film is very uplifting. A beautiful film!
