I also think if you don't know the musical and haven't experienced the emotion of it that you'll probably miss the point. It's like anything that gets a movie after years of existing in other forms - many of us who grew up with the book and the musical are loving the movie treatment - the things done right from the musical and the things from the book that have been restored.

I think the odds are fairly low that anyone who already declares "they don't get it" is likely to get it by seeing the movie. Still, it is a wonderful treatment of the material, and it still makes you cry and weep and yet, sends you home feeling uplifted.

However, there's nothing new about criticisms of the movie, people have been "not getting" the musical for over 25 years. Still, it has a powerful effect on millions of people who are embracing this movie totally.

Can I suggest you read some professional reviews by people who enjoyed the movie and were moved by it?

As someone who had never seen the musical/read the book and had no feelings about it going into the film (though was excited based on the trailer), this was basically my experience, as well as that of other people I know who saw it without much background in it. There were parts of it I liked, but I did not connect at all. Which, IMO, actually makes it pretty freaking flawed as a movie, since adaptations should hold up on their own. But I'm glad it worked for at least some fans! (And I'm sure some people who had never seen the musical before still loved it. I just don't know them.)
