Description

It's 1939 and Nazi Germany has declared war on freedom, demanding conformity from its youth. But a group calling themselves SWING KIDS rebel with their "swing" music from America and dare to stand up against the powerful forces around them. Robert Sean Leonard and Christian Bale deliver gripping performances as two friends who must choose between their individual freedom or loyalty to the murderous Third Reich. Also featuring Barbara Hershey, SWING KIDS is an inspirational and powerful story about finding the courage to fight for what you believe in!

    Christian and Robert Sean before they were famous, in one of the best war movies around. Fabulous soundtrack (wish it were on iTunes, but I bought the CD when it came out) and I love the dancing!

    Magnificent movie! Why can't I buy it?

  • Great potential marred by serious potholes in plot

    The topic and casting is superb, but the acting is wooden, the plot rifled with loose ends, undeveloped characters, unresolved relationships, and questionable historical accuracy given the year 1939. It seemd more likely to have occurred in 1936. The music kept me interested, but that's just about it. Swing Kids is certainly NO _Cabaret_!
