1. John - 1/5
I was really disappointed with "Could it be nagic donna summer". The storyline was weak and predictable, and the acting felt forced and wooden. The special effects were also subpar and didn't add anything to the overall experience. I didn't connect with any of the characters, and I found myself checking my watch multiple times throughout the film. Overall, I wouldn't recommend wasting your time on this movie.
2. Emma - 2/5
I had high hopes for "Could it be nagic donna summer" after seeing its flashy trailer, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The plot was confusing and hard to follow, and the dialogue was poorly written. The musical numbers were also underwhelming, and Donna Summer's talent seemed wasted in this film. While there were some visually stunning moments, they weren't enough to salvage the overall disappointing experience. I would advise giving this movie a miss if you're looking for an entertaining musical.
3. Mark - 2/5
"Could it be nagic donna summer" had the potential to be a great tribute to the legendary Donna Summer, but it missed the mark for me. The pacing was off, and the story dragged in many places. The film's attempt at blending magic and music felt forced and didn't work well together. While there were a few standout performances, they weren't enough to redeem the lackluster script. Overall, this movie didn't do justice to the talent of Donna Summer and left me feeling let down.
4. Sarah - 1/5
I found "Could it be nagic donna summer" to be a complete waste of time. The storyline lacked originality and seemed like a poor imitation of other musical films. The songs were forgettable, and the choreography was uninspired. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked depth, making it hard to care about their journey. Overall, this movie failed to leave any impact, and I would advise skipping it if you're looking for a memorable musical experience.
