I don't really care for the songs (I do not like showtunes), but I have to admit they're good.  I find it strangely difficult to judge what I think of the movie. It's just so familiar, it's like deciding what I think of blue as the color of the sky.  Is there anybody out there who somehow managed to see it for the first time as an adult?
