"In the Heights" Review
Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony-winning musical translates beautifully to the screen.

Will, a ride-share driver, and Glenn, a shut-in hacker, are best friends who scheme to rip off Will's customers. When it all falls apart, they try to turn their luck around by scamming famed venture capitalist billionaire Bruce Marcus.
Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony-winning musical translates beautifully to the screen.
Based on the legendary creature, the Chupacabra, this live-action movie brings an adventure to all.
The movie opens with an empty house, cameras pan around from the perspective of what viewers are confused about at first, but turns out to be a spirit living in the home.
In addition to the cast being delightfully diverse this time around, the film was just loosely-plotted and action-packed enough to keep a casual fan like myself entertained. While I do agree that the writing of Cole left much to be desired for an original character thrust into a preconceived universe, none of the characters seemed particularly fleshed out in terms of personality; however, I think that's to be expected when you're watching a film literally inspired by a video game.
A 3D animated film centered on chasing fame in the humble stomping grounds of middle school. Unfortunately, while the protagonist dreams big, the plot falls short and fails to capture even a semblance of diversity.
