REVIEW:


TRADITION!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's what this movie carries as one of the best movie musicals I've ever seen. Fiddler On The Roof tells the story of a poor, jewish milkman named Tevye who helps himself face facts through living with russian soliders in the next neighborhood. He also has to face his daughters marrying, mainly falling in love which makes him furious. Despite being jewish myself, this movie is very fun, entertaining, and powerful with dashes of comedy and drama put into it. I would totally recommend seeing this movie with the ENTIRE family, though you should watch it in the two parts it has on the dvd. Don't worry, you'll know when part 1 ends. But seriously, watch this old, yet fun musical.

Hello viewers of this blog,

Due to recent comments of spam and profanity present from obnoxious kids who think they are the funniest people in the world, I would like to request that the comments posted here are in good taste, meaning that they have no Anti-Semitic remarks, profanity, sexual innuendo, or any insults to myself. You can criticize the review and give pointers on how to make them better, but how about we be adults about this. Ok? Thank you, and have a nice day.
