Merle Bertrand

There's just something maddeningly upbeat about this film's shameless hokiness. Combine that with the film's colorful art and wardrobe designs, spiffy choreography, the joy of seeing some veteran faces on screen for the first time in a while, and a soundtrack that'll make even the dead tap their toes, and Swing simply makes for some serious jump-jivin' fun.

All surface shine with little substance. Read full review

Dave Kehr

Lou Lumenick

Wastes some veteran performers in a slight, silly musical fantasy with two left feet. Read full review
