I'd like to enjoy Rigoletto, but I have to deal in reality. It's just plain bad. It's contrived, sappy, unbelievable and the acting is just terrible. I applaud the filmmakers for trying to make "family-friendly" features, but the film has to be worth the effort. The best I can say about Rigoletto is that it's harmless. If you want to see really good wholesome family entertainment, rent Beauty and the Beast, or Chariots of Fire, or The Winslow Boy, or the countless other G films better than Rigoletto.
