It's her review is what got me to watch her channel, and she had an interesting take on criticizing the film.Blueoriontigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07120802906944518553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180972341218172775.post-30941445468542992132021-06-09T11:15:40.000-07:002021-06-09T11:15:40.000-07:00I understand you'd removed this over some of y...I understand you'd removed this over some of your comments. I'd love it if you posted an updated and revised review--the material's too good not to have as part of Musical Hell. Jennifer L.

It's especially sad because the vocals in this film are actually quite good--I rather like Christianne Noll's voice for Anna. (Fun Fact: Anna's speaking voice is none other than Miranda Richardson, last seen in this court as the outRAEgeously akzented Mme. Giry in <i>Phantom of the Opera</i>. At least they had the good sense not to let her sing in this one.)TheDivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09253298854460699938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180972341218172775.post-1972067299427292702013-04-19T21:57:42.426-07:002013-04-19T21:57:42.426-07:00I've never had the misfortune of seeing this--...I've never had the misfortune of seeing this--I've only gotten my opinions from various online video reviews.<br /><br />But another sin that this movie commits is: they never let any of these wonderful songs stand by themselves. These are some of the finest songs in musical theater history, and they throw a whole bunch of distracting (and incongruous) business into each one! "Whistle A Happy Tune" had that ridiculous dragon, "Hello Young Lovers" focused on the Prince showing off his kickboxing (KICKBOXING. During a ROMANTIC BALLAD.), "A Puzzlement" had the crappy CGI statues and the mugging panther, and so on.Jennifer L.

I think I'll skip watching it just the same. <br />I wonder if it would even be possible to mount a production of The King and I today without causing offense. The whole thing is built on one Unfortunate Implication after another. Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477477791424705464noreply@blogger.com
