Terry I agree with you an the no singing thing. Iactually took my wife there on a date since she was wnkriog hard aand other things. Personally I could have watched Wall-E but i knew she's been watching this. I guess I just kept in mind that the beauty and beautiful singing of the ladies on the movie made up for it. Just think of it this way if it made the person who you went with smile then it was worth the while because you made a person smile. I still and will always know he can.t sing. SHEESh!
