Editorial Reviews

"Returning hurt for hurt never helped anybody," young Bonnie said. But what is she to make of the hurtful Ribaldi who has moved into Castle Gate and threatened to evict her family? When she goes to work in his mysterious old mansion, she helps him see that the ugliness he holds inside is far worse than his hideous appearance. And she soon sees that this "beast" is a master singer and teacher who can help her unlock the beauty of her own voice. As Ribaldi teaches Bonnie to sing, her kindness melts the ice around his heart to reveal goodness and rare wisdom that has been buried for years. Although the children of the town discover his beautiful soul, some of their parents allow ugly rumors to fuel the fires of their hate. Don’t miss the stirring finish as this musical masterpiece builds to a crescendo.

A 5 star film. However, there seems to be some production run flaws. 2 out of 2 of the dvds received from amazon were seriously flawed to the point of being unplayable. I assume some quality control will occur and this won't be a problem in the future. Caveat emptor.

This is an absolutely wonderful movie. I have shown it many times and kids of all ages love it. They can sit silently and they are always asking questions at the end. As an adult, I can watch it over and over.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE Best!, August 20, 2005

Budget's Gal (Kearns, UT USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rigoletto: A Musical Fantasy Ringing of Truth and Filled With Mystery and Love (DVD)

Some of the acting was terrible but the music more than makes up for it. This is one of my very favorite musical movies and I just can't find anything that comes close. It's family friendly, it has some humor, and most of all, it has a message that leaves a smile and a tear at the end of the movie.

Watch this guys!
