We could not let Kate's birthday month go by without watching a musical. She chose Rocketman, a fantastical true story musical that follows the life of Elton John. We see him grow from shy Reginald Dwight to the rockstar sensation that is Sir Elton John. When you think of a musical it is usually associated with words like "hokey" or "cheerful". However, that is not the case for this film. Rocketman deals with hard topics like substance abuse, domestic abuse, emotional abuse and suicide. Seeing the portrayal of Elton John's road to recovery and sobriety is truly inspiring.

The big question is...was this musical good enough to impress self proclaimed musical disliker Ashley? You'll have to listen to find out.
