Amazing film! Amazing music! It even came in spanish, couldn’t resist and watched it in spanish! So good!!! ??

Usnavi de la Vega (Anthony Ramos) owns a small grocery store and passionately saves every dollar he earns towards his dream. He dreams of leaving New York and setting up his own family business in the Dominican Republic. Daily he interacts with many people within Washington Heights, including the beautiful Vanessa (Melissa Barrera), who Usnavi struggles daily to talk to due to his nerves. As Usnavi shares about how he fulfilled his dream, he also reveals the story of many others from Washington Heights who also have dreams and desires regarding life and romance. In The Heights is best classed as a musical with some touches of drama. The musical tracks are a massive highlight for this movie, and I enjoyed those musical moments that could occur anytime or from anyone. Each song delivered is fun and very entertaining. I found myself tapping my feet and wanting to clap with some of the songs several times throughout the film. As for the plot, I found this to be bright and light-hearted. The plot is basic and moves at a great pace with never a slow or boring moment on screen. The lengthy runtime was never noticeable, and the character introductions through song and dance were also brilliant. The film uses an excellent range of bright colours to match its excellent soundtrack, making it a visually positive experience. Overall, this film delivers a fun time, and audiences will feel like they are involved with the party right from the start. The pacing is great, and the film’s music is certainly entertaining for the entire duration. I highly recommend you put on your dancing shoes when you see this on a big screen and enjoy. Also! Be sure to stay after the film's credits for a pleasing additional end credit scene... * This review has been written for Sanity.
