I love Les Mis. It is my favorite musical.
Saw the movie. Despite a few glaring flaws, the elements that are good are stellar (assuming you like the show to begin with). Jackman is powerful, the production is lovely, and the story and characters come through crystal clear.
The negative points (Crowe, HBC, SBC) were disappointing, but did not at all keep me from being enthralled.
However, I do not recommend seeing it before attending a party. Not exactly the best emotional state to put yourself in in preparation to celebrate.
