Brand New Day [Blu-ray] Reviews

Contrary to common belief, the best musicals also have a solid central story on which to hang their songs and dances, and it’s even better if the songs and dances grow organically from the story the film is telling. Musicals with a skeletal storyline of no consequence (like Rachel Perkins’ Brand New Day) have neither the depth nor interest to sustain a feature length film, and if the songs and dances are as innocuous and uninspired as those present in this movie, then the film has very little to offer. Such is the case with Brand New Day. It may be a mildly pleasant movie for the most undemanding of viewers (the kind that would find the heavy dramatics of Mamma Mia! overly taxing), but there’s very little here worth noting.
