Congratulations Disney on your first movie with a gay lead without even mentioning words like "gay". But I guess baby steps are also steps. Nevertheless, it was a fun no-brainer movie worth watching!

Oh how I would have loved a movie like this growing up. I am proud of the world where these sort of movies are made for kids. So great idea! Performances are all sound and Lisa Kudrow is always welcome in any movie
Like everything Disney does the execution is really clinical. I am assuming someone from the studio was hired to ensure we count how many black people are in this movie and ensure that we have the right ratio of white to black performers with a couple Asian just as token gestures.
Both brothers have black best friends.
The casting audition - black. The panel- need a black. Every second role is essentially that.
It's like this in every single movie Disney does these days. And same on ABC
So the focus on this and ensuring that we have this diversity push there takes away from the fact for a movie like this there's not really any LGBQT roles or actors in prominent parts.
So for a film preaching diversity and inclusion and set in the world of Broadway not a lot of LGBQT? Hmmm.. that's just a little disappointing
But hey black people are given the tick tick.
Our diversity issue is solved!!

Joshua Bassett apparently doesn't need to act to be a jerk. Lol. Joke asides, Better Nate Than Ever is a delightful light musical. Regardless of its many cliches, the film is actually quite evocative, touching, and entertainingly fun. 🎵Untill Queendom come! 🎵

There is no doubt that Rueby Wood is a talented kid. His enthusiasm as Nate is infectious and you have to cheer him on. Nate's parents aren't bad parents, just a little unaware. Nate's brother, a high-school jock, is embarrassed by his somewhat effete younger brother. And Nate's friend Libby, his enabler, is a little slow in understanding Nate's concept of girlfriend. But Lisa Kudrow, is wonderful as his would be mother and slightly kooky Aunt Heidi. This is a well-intentioned film with a strong message of letting people be who they are. With heart and some terrific song and dance numbers, this is an entertaining film.

This is a sweet movie carried beautifully on the shoulders of newcomer Rueby Wood. This young actor is a force of nature to such a degree that no one really seems to exist on screen when he's working. This may sound like it could be problematic, but the fact is that the writers do very little to develop any of the other characters. The strangest aspect of this surrounds the character of the older brother. It's clear that the working class parents want the brother to get an athletic scholarship to college and when he suffers an injury it never really seems to have a point or to threaten his scholarship chances. It's just a random occurrence that does nothing to develop the character or further the plot. The parents exist, because there are kids and they need to have parents. They just don't have any other purpose. Lisa Kudrow adds heart and charm as the supportive aunt, but her only real purpose seems to be to give the kid a place to stay, as the kid doesn't seem to be in need of motivation or support. In the end these shortcomings don't distract from a great performance and a film with lots of heart.
