Entertainment Reviews:
[M]uch of the rest of the cast is terrific...[particularly] Jackman and Anne Hathaway, who settle into their roles like they've spent their lives waiting for this opportunity.
Movieline
Rating: 3/4 --
This is the kind of show that demands to be seen live, and no amount of cinematic spectacle can replace a Broadway production.

The Dispatch (Lexington, NC)
[Barks] brings across her character handsomely and with just the right air of sweet, sad, resigned longing.
A.V. Club
Rating: 2/5 --
Hammy camerawork and duff delivery aside, Les Misérables' biggest crime is arguably its lack of true spectacle.

CineVue
3.5 stars out of 4 -- What helps make LES MISERABLES so vibrant and thrilling onscreen is Hooper's daring decision to have his actors sing live....LES MISERABLES overflows with humor, heartbreak, rousing action and ravishing romance.
Rolling Stone
Rating: 3.5/5 --
For those unfamiliar with the play, watching the movie will make for a decent introduction; it's a bit overlong, perhaps, but while there's a slight disconnect from the source material, there's also an undeniable passion and respect for it.

The Maine Edge
[T]his production is visual to the max, with an epic physical scale and grandeur the play couldn't possibly have.

Product Description:
Academy-award winning director Tom Hooper's adaptation of the beloved musical LES MISERABLES makes no major changes to the original's plot. The story follows former prisoner Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman), who, after being released from the watchful eye of police officer Javert (Russell Crowe), is unable to find work because of his status as an ex-convict. He eventually steals from a local church, but when apprehended, the priest claims that Valjean was given the valuables. This triggers a change in Valjean, and he constructs a new identity for himself as a pillar of society and a local businessman. Years later, he adopts a young girl named Cosette, whose mother Fantine (Anne Hathaway), a former employee of his, became a prostitute and died a horrible death in the gutters after being fired. As the years progress and the French Revolution begins to foment, a grown Cosette (Amanda Seyfried) falls for a passionate revolutionary named Marius (Eddie Redmayne), while Javert begins to close in again on Valjean's secret past.
