Reading the negative reviews for this movie on Letterboxd just further prove to me that this site's community is a cynical, sad, broken Hellscape.

WHEN THE CAPTAIN ACCIDENTALLY CALLS MARIA CAPTAIN AND THEY BOTH LOOK AT EACH OTHER LIKE... 👀👀👀👀
Review by KasperL ★★★ 10

♫ pre-dict-able plot-lines and chee-sy ro-man-ces
o-ver-hyped clas-sics and mu-si-cal dan-ces
wild-ly an-noy-ing small chil-dren who sing
that will ne-ver be my fa-vo-rite thing ♫
... but, hey, it's hard to really, truly hate this.

I had doubts about this, but then Maria blew that whistle at the captain and suddenly I decided this was the greatest movie ever made. God save the queen
