Summary: One of the best movies I have ever seen!
Review: This is a wonderful movie! I try to introduce it to everyone I know,-it is that good. Julie Andrews stars as a young woman of the 20's fresh out of business school, and in the big city. She becomes roommate with fresh-face Mary Tyler Moore. It is very funny, and entertaining. The two break into dance at any given moment. For example, during an arguement,the two young women step onto the elevator. The elevator is jammed, and the only way to get it to go is to dance. So here they are, dancing and arguing.--For twenty floors up. It is also a romance, but very clean. My girls first watched it at age 5 and 9 and they still love it! Great for a snowy day! I get this video as a gift for people of all ages. This is well worth the money!-I promise!

Summary: Good, thought ...........
Review: This is hilarious film, Julie sings great, and performs funny ! Thought I am not used to her funny performance after I am a big fan of "Mary Poppins" and "the Sound of Music", but she has made Millie cute, naive and adorable. However, throught the Chinese characters are meant to be bad guys in the story, they may be acting too over. And I can not understand what kind of "Chinese" Mrs. Meers is talking to her vilain Chinese employees, although I am a Taiwanese who speaks Chinese myself .......

Summary: I promise you won't bore me!!!
Review: This is one of Julie's cutest movies, and it's also very funny. Oh! I looooovvvvve John Gavin as Trevor Graydon, he's so positively dreamy. The movie is interesting throughout, and has a handful of delightful songs including "Baby Face", "Trinkt Le Chaim", "The Tapioca" and more. The only reason I gave the DVD 4 stars instead of 5 is because I think that it is just an attempt by Universal to cash in on the Broadway hit, although there is nothing wrong with that. Yet as a Julie fan, I feel that Universal did not put any effort into putting extras on the DVD--- and they were available! (There is behind-the-scenes footage on the Hollywood Musicals of the 1960s DVD). Oh well, I guess they didn't go searching, searching, searching.

Summary: Finally on DVD!
Review: This is one of my all-time favorite movies. I never tire of the story, humor, music or Julie Andrews. The picture on the DVD is clear and the color is fantastic. Each scene has a color theme to it and with this excellent transfer, those colors really stand out. Maybe someday this will be re-released with a documentary, but for the price, who can complain?

Summary: Raise your skirts and bob your hair
Review: This is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen, besides "Luv" with Jack Lemmon.
Just the small lines you don't catch the first time become more visible the second, or third, or fourth, or..., the 98th time you've watched it. My roommate and his boyfriend and I would watch it 2 or 3 times a week. "Raspberries!" exclaims Muzzy, while flying with Baron von Richter up to meet Miss Dorothy, Millie, and Jimmy.
When Jimmy did the Tapioca, I couldn't stop singing it for days. It stuck in my head. When Judith yells, "Soy sauce!" that sticks in your head, especially if you eat alot of Hawaiin or Chinese foods.
Jimmy in drag is hilarious. We had to pause the movie until we stopped laughing.
You will love it.

Summary: TERRIF, OH DELISH!
Review: This is wonderfully entertainig and is simply... well, TERRIF!Julie Andrews is hilarious in this rather camp look on the zany 20's. Mary Tyler Moore, i found was rather anoying at first but then i fell in love with her. Carol Channing is simply bonkers, thats the only word i can describe Muzzy with and John Gavin is brilliant as Trevor Graydon, and i found it hysterically funny when he started to refer to Millie as "John" but the funniest thing was, i thought it rather suited her!!!!Altogether this is just Fun Fun Fun and if you want a little chuckle then by this wonderful movie.

Summary: The Reviewers Thoroughly Missed Something
Review: This lavish film produced by Ross Hunter is a musical spoof, set in the 20s. Julie Andrews demonstrates her great acting range in this film. Julie gives a great performance and shows us a thing or two about her abilities in this amusing musical. Curiously this is the film that the brilliant film composer Elmer Bernstein won his sole Academy Award (THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, THE GREAT ESCAPE, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD just didn't cut it). THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE is still thoroughly good.

Summary: A fun-fillied variety movie with wit and romance
Review: This musical comedy, starring a young Mary Tyler Moore and Julie Andrews takes a humorous look at styles, fads and sexual boundaries broken in the 1920's. The music is snappy, but dialogue pervades much of the piece. A must see for a cheery flick.

Summary: My, Oh my
Review: Thoroughly a treasure; really, it's swell, just swell. Julie Andrews, Mary Tyler Moore, and Carol channing are terrific in this fun spoof of the 1920's. Julie Andrews is Millie, and is as enduring and talented as ever. Mary Tyler Moore is so sweet in this film, and has a chance to show off her amazing dancing talent. Adding to the supreme talent of these actress is the insanely brillant Beatrice Lilly as Mrs. Meers, the villianess, who quips us with great lines such as "Shoe Show," or "Sad to be all alone in this world." Balancing off the female talents in this film are the delightful and funny James Fox, and the oh so swell John Gavin.
The film is fabulous, fun and delightful, holding many highlight musical scenes such as dancing in the elevator, Jazz Baby, or the tapioca, or even other, non musical scenes such as scenes with the cab driver. It is a film to be enjoyed simply because of how much fun it is. And it'll have you quoting it, or singing the songs from it for months afterward.
Don't miss this film by jingo- no raspberries!
