It is the film that captures the story of Jack Kelly, who decided that two newcomers would endorse his business. They are the brothers David and Les Jacobs who are changing course. Both brothers are being exploited for no reason by their bosses, but they are beginning to bring about the required change during that period but may be met by the cruelty of the big companies facing them.
A Disney musical with an undistinguished score, fair to middling choreography, and clunky direction that still manages to be entertaining in spots because of its story.
Despite Newsies' many flaws, it's bracing to see Disney attempt a PG movie about something as meaty as labor relations. Would that every strike be resolved with so little bloodshed and so many songs.
Certain movies engage your affections so strongly that, even if they start to fall apart, you tend to keep rooting for them. That's pretty much the case with Newsies.
