Review of Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967) by Judy F — 06 Jun 2010

I dont understand how anyone can like this movie. sure some of the music is good and acting was alright but the story, set-up and jokes are terrible. Julie Andrews is always a good actress, I just had a problem with why a girl who grew up in Nowhereville Kansas has a british accent. Carole Channing was too annoying to be taken comically. full of non-sequiturs that dont have any rhyme, reason, or humor value. The storyline is mildly racist. how they expose the villian still baffles me in it's absurdity. The music was hit-miss, some songs were good and others hurt the ears. It was like watching a dumber musical "Great Gatsby", where every character is selfish, spoiled, and unrelatable.

I know this review is all over the place but there was so much wrong with this movie that I cant think straight. The GOOD was acting/singing, and a few songs. But everything else about this film is ROTTEN.
