Plot
Summary:
Set
against the backdrop of 19th-century France, Les Misérables tells an
enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and
redemption-a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. Jackman
plays ex-prisoner Jean Valjean, hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman
Javert (Crowe) after he breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory
worker Fantine's (Hathaway) young daughter, Cosette, their lives change
forever. In December 2012, the world's longest-running musical brings its power
to the big screen in Tom Hooper's sweeping and spectacular interpretation of
Victor Hugo's epic tale. -- (C) Universal

Review:
Laugh, cry, cover your face in disgust and horror. The dazed looks of the audience after the movie proves that Les Miserables does live up to its hype.
Anne Hathaway carries the entire movie even with
her limited screen time. Hugh Jackman's musical prowess is undeniable in this
film. Coupled with Sacha and Helena's perfect comedic timing, Les Mis is that
box of chocolate Forest Gump described-you never know what you are gonna
get..but you sure will love it.
WHY wasn't Hooper nominated for awards?
Fave Character:
Anne Hathaway as Fantine

Fave Quote:
Cosette: Every day you walk with stronger step, you walk
with longer step. The worst is over
