Dear Evan Hansen | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Lively cinematography and choreography could never overcome Dear Evan Hansen's questionable narrative and wildly misplaced sentiments, or its misfire of a central portrayal, but so many of the picture's choices feel like it's writing hate mail to itself.

Despite the plainness in Chbosky's direction... fans of the genre can find a genuine product that captures a time of sadness, crisis, and imposture. [Full review in Spanish]

Just another promising project sunk by Hollywood hubris, a mediocre misfire with a few good moments that never really had the chance at being more than that, but certainly could have been so much less.

The film reeks of a group of people so in love with the original piece of work that they couldn't even see the flaws... There may yet be a way to save this material, this simply fine film version can't do it.

The obvious solution (to the age thing) would've been to repurpose this as a iHiding Outi remake, with Platt reprising the Jon Cryer role as an adult masquerading among teenagers.
