Summary: Copacabana on DVD is Great, but could be so much better!
Review: I have wanted this movie for oh so many years!!! Ever since I first saw it on television. I love all the songs! It a cutesy movie with a thin plot, but the music is what Barry is known for and it will have you humming along! I wish there would have been some special features on this DVd version....it is pretty bare, but after waiting all these years, I AM VERY HAPPY WITH IT!!! Buy this one, you won't regret it!

Summary: Delightfully perverse bit of camp fun
Review: Imagine if you will, an old 20th Century Fox musical; one starring, say, John Payne, Alice Faye, and Don Ameche wherein 2 young performers fall in love, seek stardom, have a falling out, but finally get together for a happy ending.All accompanied by a typical, i.e. better-than-average but just short of memorable, song score. Then, at the end, Al Pacino in "Scarface" enters and utters "Say Hallo to my li'l fren'" That's this film (and, no, I'm not giving anything away, that's the song,too!)
Add to this a script by JAMES LIPTON! Yes, "Actor's Studio" James Lipton!(Is "Manilow" his least or most favorite word?)and you've got a unique treat.

Summary: A must for Barry Manilow Fans
Review: The first time I saw this movie, I was moved to tears. Being a lifelong Barry fan, I was on pins and needles waiting for it's debut oh so many years ago. My feelings about the film have not changed since day one! The music is magic and the story is timeless. I can watch this movie again and again.

Summary: Great Musical
Review: This movie is great. This movie was broadcast on CBS originally in December 1985. Barry,Bruce and Jack outdid themselves on the songs and score. This movie runs a gambit of emotions. It is set in the 40's right after WWII. Two people meet,begin to fall in love, then interrupted by a third party. Lots of drama, action, romance and you never know what will happen next. A must have for any fan of Barry Manilow. This was his first acting experience as Tony and he is terrific. Of course, I am extremely biased. Friends of mine who watched it even though they were not fans, loved it. Who knew that Annette O'Toole could sing? She also is a wonderful dancer. Joseph Bolonga is wonderful as Rico. Great supporting parts done by Ernie Sabella as Mr. Gropper the owner of the Copa and Estelle Getty as Tony's mother.
