Summary: Great Story
Review: THE SOUND OF MUSIC is definitely a classic. Based on a true story, it chronicles a portion of the life of the Van Trap family. The plot is awesome, and all the songs fit in well with the plot. This movie is a beautiful story of a family that cares for its members and stands up for what it believes in.

Summary: My Favorite Movie!
Review: This is a great movie. It is based on the life of Maria Von Trapp, and has a lot of historical value. The Music is very heartwarming and you will be singing the songs for days after you watch this movie. Julie Andrews is great in this. If you like Musicals, this film is for you! I especially like the Lonely Gotherd sequence of this film. Be sure to get the DVD!

Summary: HOLLYWOOD`S BEST ADAPTION FROM BROADWAY
Review: THE SOUND OF MUSIC is 1 one those few films that stands the test of time. It is simply the very best musical produced in the 20th century. And Julie Andrews? A gift from the heavens. Enough said.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The hills are alive...with the ultimate DVD experience!
Review: As if "The Sound Of Music" wasn't already on everyone's top-10 list, now we have the DVD version with lots and lots of bonuses: The making of the movie, theater trailers, an 8 song Kareoke track, and much more. The film with it's true story of the Von Trapp Family's persecution by the Nazis in pre-World War II, with the breathtaking Austrian countryside, and oh, the beautiful sound of music! -- I have seen a few DVDs, now that this technological breakthrough is within reach of the masses, but this one is by far the best of them! Highly recommended!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent music and entertainment
Review: Some people have described this movie as no more than melodramatic, sentimental sappiness. Christopher Plummer is reported to have refered to this movie, in which he starred, as "The Sound of Mucus."

This movie is, in my opinion, the exact opposite. The movie contains inspiring music, a hopeful story line, and an engaging Julie Andrews as Maria, the young governess to the Captain's seven children. The chemistry that develops during the film between the children and Maria and between the Captain and Maria drives the story.

Interesting supporting subplots also abound. Some include the Captain's impending marriage to a duchess, teen romance of the oldest daughter with Rolph the delivery boy, the scheming uncle Max who's always on the prowl for a way to come into fame and easy money, the lives and times of the nuns in the convent, and the pre-WWII Austrian setting with the threat of Nazi occupation.

You will find Maria to be creative, inventive, and made of sterner stuff than she appears to have. There is hesitancy, faith, fun, music, romance, drama and suspence, and even comedy in this time honored Oscar-winning classic.

If you have never watched this movie, watch it. If you don't have it, get it! It's a great show for the entire family -- it does not have offensive language, violence, etc., but it does have abundant positive lessons about family and loyalty.

5 stars all the way.

Happy viewing!
