I saw with with my daughter's girl scout service unit as part of a daddy daughter date night. So if was twenty dads and about thirty girls between the age of five and fourteen. They didn't care if there should be blacks in France or of they gay guy redeemed himself. They laughed, they sang along with the songs cheered at the end and the left the theater twirling humming the songs.
How many girls between the ages of five and fourteen do you think read my posts? I was clearly (I hope) not writing it for them, but for people who might wander in without a kid to be entertained.

It was an improvement over the cation version.
No it wasn't.They closely followed the story line but they made a more complete character and made the relationship between him and Belle fuller and more believable.
They added literacy to his character traits. They gave him & Belle even less of a motivation to engage with one another now, which IMO, makes falling in love less likely. If it was an arranged marriage, discovering their mutual bookwormery would be a reason to tolerate said arrangement, because they each feel free to retreat to their books, knowing the other will understand and respect that. But it is not a motivation to find an emotional connection and the sort of sincere appreciation for one another's inner self that would lift a magic curse.
The Beat also got more back story and depth.
I now have the image of Belle singing along with the Go-gos "We got the Beat". Anyway, as I said above, that increased "back story and depth" adds up to "literacy" and is somewhat contradictory to what we SEE of his prior life. I don't know too many people who are both bookworms AND OTT dance specatacle enthusiasts.
The biggest criticism is they used mostly Brits for a French story.
Just think of it as a remake of "Ever After". They use too many Brits in general. Some British actresses I am fine with. Emily Blunt, Helen Mirren, Maggie Smith, they can talk all day as far as I am concerned. Felicity Jones, Gemma Arterton, Hayley Atwell, Emma Watson, Emilia Clarke and Daisey Ridley can all get themselves a hefty dose of shutthehellup.

They didn't tend to be about a third of a noble court, or pastors of remote towns *NM*

And this demonstrates the danger of reviewing a movie when you are not the target audience
