Overrated and overhyped

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This movie is definitely a must see! A movie like this is one that I can watch over and over again. Humorous but definitely charming with the beautiful Hamptons as the setting, not only is the movie absolutely entertaining, but the songs are unforgettable. It makes you want to go out and buy the soundtrack immediately, if not sooner. This movie makes you appreciate your closest friends as the ones who completely understand what you are going through. And not only do they understand, but they help you out no matter what. With the combination of a witty cast, fabulous director, and absolutely incredible songs sung by one of the greatest a capella groups, this is one hit that everyone has to see!

I saw this movie at the Rhode Island Film Festival a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it. If you like to laugh, enjoy good music, a good story line and some honest emotion then you will love it too. I met Bruce Leddy, the director, and he is a wonderful, humble guy. The film won the audience choice award, which was no surprise as it received a lengthy standing ovation. The audience was clearly on a high after seeing this film and gave a lot of positive feedback. Hopefully it gets the recognition it deserves and will be shown in theaters. It's a movie that anyone can see.I've paid $10 to see a lot of movies in theaters that don't hold a candle to this one.

Shut Up and Sing is hilarious...touching...best film of the year! I laughed practically nonstop...and was moved to tears in places. Takes you to a whole range of emotions. Convincing acting and good character development. Each character reminds you of someone in your life. This is a film I could see over and over again which is highly unusual for me. Appeals to a variety of ages. My 17 year old son and and his male and female teen-aged friends loved it too. They want their friends AND parents to see it. Full of fresh ideas! I guess that's why it appeals to such a wide range of ages. This film has an intelligent story line and a cappella is hot! The singing definitely sets this film apart. Catches one's undivided attention from the very beginning. Surprises at every turn. An absolute must see!

"Shut Up & Sing" is one of the best films of the year! Although it sounds cliché, it will absolutely make you laugh, cry and reflect on your own life. What stands out most is the stellar cast, which is made up of talented actors who compliment each other brilliantly. Reg Rogers and David Harbour are two of the many names from the ensemble that you will remember ... and hear often! They are incredible. And the singing? Well, you will leave the theater humming the catchy tunes and hoping that a soundtrack is well on its way. As for the crew, I was shocked to learn that this is the director's first major motion picture. The characters are intertwined so well and the stories are told with such emotion and heart. In a time when we are looking to go see quality movies and film-making at its best, "Shut Up & Sing" needs to be one of those films.
