I don't normally like musicals either. But I was dragged to Grease and Rent by girlfriends and I have to admit I liked both. OK I watched Xanadu back in the day but in my defense I had a...thing...interest...spasm for Olivia Newton-John.

Yellow Submarine was the best musical ever. The Wall would be my close second. That is if you consider those musicals.
I do recall Xanadu as well... just not as well.

Hmmm, if you like Grease and Rent, that means you like musicals.

I finally saw this tonight and man, am I dissappointed.
I agree with everything everyone has said, but what annoys me the most is the ending. Maybe it's been too long since I read the book but my understanding of the ending is that Marius is disgusted with Jean Valjean after finding out he's a convict and thinks it will also break Cossette's heart for her to know the truth, therefore Marius sends Valjean away. The movie had Valjean decide to go away and Marius try and get him to stay, which makes absolutely no sense with the words from the last song (e.g. It is you who must forgive a thankless man). It just seems like something so worthless to change that it makes no sense to deviate from the actual story.....
