I understand why people don't think it's good, and how it isn't the same as the stage show... but I actually very much buy the justification they establish for why Dorothy is so old... and I think that setting it in NYC and taking advantage of all that is a really smart (smarter than the original version I might even say) way of doing the show. And it's a very fun movie that retains almost the entire score, and all the songs are performed fantastically! What's not to like.
