A koala named Buster recruits his best friend to help him drum up business for his theater by hosting a singing competition.
What critics thought
Sing lands somewhere between crowd-pleaser and missed opportunity: audiences embraced it far more warmly than critics did, and the split traces back to the same feature — its cheerful, shameless formulaicism. The voice cast and the musical sequences win people over, but critics were divided on whether the parade of subplots adds up to anything or just fills time between good songs.
“In a year full of talking-animal hits, Sing isn't quite as strong a number. It's a tale that might not be particularly thought-provoking but sure is toe-tapping.”
Brian Truitt·USA Today
“a cute movie with genuinely funny moments (keep an eye out for the koala car wash), and some great tunes to boot.”
Katie Walsh·Los Angeles Times
“Sing is like an album with a good song here and there, but too much filler and not enough hits.”
Bill Goodykoontz·The Arizona Republic
“Garth Jennings's Sing effectively acknowledges early on that it's following a completely unoriginal formula, and yet carries on regardless.”
