| User ReviewIan WAwesome msucial. "Edward James Olmos," need I say more? |
| User ReviewLee MHadn't seen this since back in the day. NetFlix finally got it and sent it too me. I was afraid I wouldn't love as much as I used to, but I do. If you want to be as cool as me; you'll check it out. Otherwise, forget. PS This is one of the very, very few musicals I even like, let alone love. PPS And, in spite of not knowing what a zoot suit is, even Motoko gave it a 4.5 stars. PPPS A couple of my homies, back in Converse, Indiana, circa 1952 tried to have our own zoot suits tailored. |

| User ReviewMat HSaw this in a movie house when it came out; watched it again after becoming a Battlestar fan. It remains excellent. Olmos should do more singing in his current career. |
| User ReviewMartin GI love this movie, great adaptation of the play. The music and acting is awesome! I think what really attracts me to everything is just the was I can associate with the Chicano culture and it's roots such as the Pachuco lifestyle. WATCH THIS MOVIE! |
