80Manages to honor the theatricality of the source yet becomes a fully cinematic experience. A gem.
-
It has that bygone style, in which impossibly innocent ingenues suddenly break into blissfully tuneful song.
-
75Has slow patches and requires a generous suspension of disbelief. But it's also sweet and optimistic -- a welcome antidote to gloom.
-
70This is the first Broadway-sourced movie musical in umpteen years, and you should see it, because the score is gorgeous.
-
70Scrappy, sappy, and appealing.
-
58Fans starving for some song and dance celluloid may be satiated, but this movie version really shows the material's age.
-
50The deliberate simplicity that works so well at the Sullivan Street Theater seems flat, anachronistic and almost spooky on the big screen.
-
50A brave but ultimately futile attempt at adapting a piece that is so quintessentially theatrical that it defies translation to another medium.
-
50It seems like another misstep - the story just doesn't hold up to Ritchie's treatment.
-
50Although dated, it's not a bad musical.
-
50While the cast and songs are top notch, the predictability of the madness makes it pretty clear that this musical shouldn't have left the stage
-
50A sweet, if slender, surprise.
-
40Shot five years ago by director Michael Ritchie. No release until now. Uh-oh. Disaster? Pretty much.
-
20The movie version overflows with affection and good intention, but unwittingly turns a bauble of cheerful fakery into something that mostly feels phony.
-
20The resulting film is one of too much reverence and not enough satire.
