Shut Up and Sing (2006)
HBO Audience Award Winner
This past week in Aspen, Co. I happened to select "Shut Up and Sing" as one of my Independent film choices at the HBO Comedy Festival. I have been attending the comedy festival for the past five years and I can absolutely say this is the best movie that I have seen that has been presented at the festival. "Shut Up and Sing" also received the "Audience Award" for best movie.
I loved the humor , the characters were full and believable and very well acted. "Shut Up and Sing" reminded me of "The Big Chill". Only funnier and more current. The music was wonderful as well. The selection of songs that the group sang were good and fit in well with the overall theme. Their voices were well matched, strong and lively. I am still humming the opening song which is stuck in my head.
I never see a movie twice, maybe that's just being part of the Baby Boom generation, never enough time. But I did see "Shut Up And Sing" twice. (I had a Best Audience award ticket). The movie was as enjoyable the second time as the first. People were leaving the theater singing and with big smiles on their faces.
I was so excited about this film that I have told all my friends how good this movie is and we are all awaiting the finished product!
