Funny and so catchy
One of the best musicals I've ever seen. So fresh and young, funny and the songs are so catchy. The cast though mostly unknown is very talented. All singing and dancing bits are just wow. All Australian cast and Australian director of course - Rebel Wilson. Coming out of age musical comedy with talented Meg Washington who wrote most of the songs. There is simply not anything there not to like. I you like comedy or musicals or both, this movie is for you. The Deb got standing ovation at its premier at TIFF and I understand why. Also the comedy in the movie is very strong and makes you laugh a lot.
Incredible original film!
I saw this in Toronto at the Princess of Wales and I LOVED IT so so much. I'm a huge Rebel Wilson fan and this movie just feels like the extension of all her great comedy roles. The musical numbers are absolutely excellent and all this cast can really REALLY SING their faces off. I can't wait for the soundtrack to be released. My teenage daughters are already obsessed as well.
Favorite characters are Taylah and Koala Kid. I cried at the end too as it was so powerful with the "Pretty Strong" song. If you like musicals you should buy tickets to this as soon as it's released in cinemas. But it's also hilariously funny, so comedy lovers will like this too.
