Everything Wrong With In The Heights In 16 Minutes Or Less

In The Heights was a successful Broadway show and now it's a movie. A movie with sins. Singable sins.

Next week: zombie sins and high school sins.

Remember, no movie is without sin. Which movie's sins should we count next.

Mister frosty isn’t just a Hamilton cameo. Christopher Jackson was the original Benny before he was George Washington

[josedard]

“Abuela Claudia is not cooking for me in this scene” this is might be the most honest sin ever written!!

[masterYoshimistsu]

An early sin in the movie was that when Usnavy realizes that he doesn’t have milk, Abuela Claudia told Usnavy to use condense milk in the coffee but he uses evaporated milk instead.

[Dudemanrd]

I love how, despite the sin count, you can tell he liked this movie a lot just based on how many sins are just silly gags and being sad from the plot instead of frustrated criticisms. That, to me, is more heartwarming than taking a dozen sins off.

[abbywolffe]

The "we are powerless" double meaning is more relevant in the musical. Benny and Nina and Usnavi and Vanessa get split up from each other in the crowd and Vanessa sings about being alone and scared in the dark while Usnavi has to leave her to protect Abuela Claudia. It's actually Benny and Nina who have the back-and-forth in the musical and they're stressed about their relationship. Nina's father sings about getting her home safely, Sonny and Graffiti Pete have to guard the store from looters, and various other people run around frantically. There's more panic in that version because the blackout is the breaking point for all the side conflicts.

[kuragedaisuki]

I love how the usual sin is "this scene does not contain a lapdance" but when it does he still sins it lmao. There's no winning!

[antonsmirnov]

The one flaw with the movie is that they didn't have time for the story line of Nina's father not approving of Benny. That's what made the scene of them working together during the power outage so moving - Kevin finally accepts Benny because of his work ethic. In the movie it was just there.

[vaxstiel]

You're calling Chris Jackson a _Hamilton_ cameo? Cinema Sins does not get obvious Easter eggs of original Broadway In The Heights cast members. *ding*

[Estradamente]

Having Marc Anthony in the musical and not having him sing in a scene is the biggest sin here and you missed it, homie

[TheAdventuresOfLiz]

i love how it shows Abuela taking the stairs when she passes. until the end she will always take the harder path, a working woman who supported so many in the community. shes not taking the easy way out, she wasnt a quitter and she never will be, even in her afterlife

[ydlz]

This movie taught me that as a latino, all my problems can be solve if I win the lottery

[Kal-el_is_a_cool_name]

I’m so dead with the “give us a verse drop some knowledge”💀💀

[jpholcomb]

Sin: This movie does not contain the song "Sunrise", and that is a fucking shame

[antniopc]

She took the stairs because abuela Claudia always went through life the hard way like having to work and take care of mother while learning English and finding her way in a new country.

[mets]

My brother is one of the "bozos in the pool" at 8:14. He's probably going to be more excited about this than being in the movie, lol.

[jessiebullock]

This is the first time you didn’t sin “singing” in a musical. THANK YOU.

OK. This may have been the best sins for any movie you have done! This made audibly laugh where someone had to ask me what was happening. Great work!

DAMN! You even made a sneaky Hamilton joke about the Hamilton cameo that was character specific!?!

[periflores]

The biggest sin for those of us that saw the play is: THEY KILLED OFF MRS ROSARIO!!!

[littlespacewitch]

Biggest sin of this entire movie is completely cutting out Camilla Rosario. There's me in the cinema, happily whispering the words to myself and the absolute devastation when I found out Camilla wasn't in it... Unmatched.

[princesoraheart]

I'm gonna ask you respectfully remove the sin around 10:36. Living in LA has proven that there's always someone with a trash bag of fireworks.

[crystalward]

Seriously, the A Train is a CLASSIC jazz track, which is why Usnavi sang the line to its tune and winked.

As for the fireworks they were part of the fiesta in the heights. Vanessa said they could catch the fireworks when she agreed to go out with Usnavi.
