les miserables...i saw the 1997 movie with liam nielson and geoffery rush, wihich was very good but dark and sad....so when a friend of mine wanted to see it for her birthday ,,i couldn;t say no....i was surprised how outstanding hugh jackman and ann hatheways proformances were....after you got used to the singing/talking the movie was good and well done....i am glad i saw it...8 out of 10 or a big Cplus.....higher marks from people who love that time in history....definitely for 12 and up cause it is very dark......
