It kind of reminded me of PLAJN CLOTHES, a little-seen comedy from 1988 where a cop goes undercover in high school posing as a teenager, but the cops was played by Arliss Howard, a 34 year old playing a 24 year old playing a 17 year old! Everyone in the film buys into it despite how obviously old the guy is! Yet the student in Dear Evan Hansen looks even older than Arliss Howard did! It's laughable. At least Amy Adams is in this. She's always good and always hot.
Dear Evan Hansen, Why are you a creepy 40 year old high school student??
Great story, casting, and acting. Not usually a fan of musicals but had seen the trailer and thought I'd give it a shot - alone, cuz I knew I'd tear up. Did the results justify the means? I wonder...
A movie that promotes weakness.
I think Ben Platt nailed it. Always love Amy Adams! Actors who portrayed Zoe and Connor = excellent! Want to see more of "Connor." Important topic for today; but not all sad.
This film is for everyone who relates to what it is like to live in the darkness of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and feeling utterly alone.....
The fact that the lead looked like Ben Stiller pretending he was in high school really ruined this movie for me. They couldn't have found someone younger to play this role? Add in a problematic subject matter and yeah... not good. I should have saved my money for West Side Story.
Music is sensational and the acting is the best. Great story and very informative for parents and adults everywhere. Not a movie for kids or toddlers. Message is there folks, see the signs and be a friend.
Evan Hansen is easily a four star movie. My husband and I were both very impressed. Great acting & well cast. Story is heartbreaking and endearing...and memorable. Music/songs are wonderfully well done. Yes, it's a little different than the stage play. Isn't that the point of movies?!. From people who have seen both, the criticism we read is not deserved for this movie.
Academy Award to go to BEN PLATT for sure, his acting in this is beyond excellent, every detail and emotion is portrayed. Message for all , HOLD ON, it gets better, life is full of changes. Movie is Sad bring tissues.
Amazing story. Songs are so beautiful and emotional.
Sooooo good. The music is amazing, I want to see the stage production now.
Loved it!!!! My favourite movie so far this year, I'm definitely going to see this again.
Everything! It was an all around great 👍movie. The story line, the music 🎶, the tenderness of it. Just EVERYTHING. I would highly recommend it.

Cockeyed melodrama with the world's oldest teenager. Lousy.
What a beautiful movie with a wonderful message. It helps you see that things can and will get better, that there is always hope, and that you are never alone. Dear Evan Hansen is a heart-clutching story that will have you crying for days with breath-taking music and powerful acting. I reccomend a THOUSAND TIMES OVER!!! I'm going to see it again as soon as I can.
So good! Ben Platt is incredible, not only his amazing singing but his acting is perfect, he’s so awkward you feel like giving him a hug 🤗
