I went to see the live concert, and couldn't wait for the movie to come out to be able to see it up close and personal. I sat in the 2nd balcony, so the kids were ants on stage, but I still loved being there.
I wanted to see the CONCERT in the movie, not the personal stories, or the camera panning away to the fans (some of this is fine, but they did that too often). They also did some fun things at the concert - skits and the interaction of the teachers on the big screen, that were cut out of the movie. The fan interviews would have been good to do at the end, or put as extra features on the DVD.
The one thing I thought was awesome was the little boy who imitated Darren Criss at the end of the movie.
Overall, I was hugely disappointed in the selection the producer and editor made for what was shown to the audience. The kids are still great, and I'm a big fan of their talent and energy.
