Most helpful review Fiddler on the Roof

  • TRADITION!

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By MrJuggles from Nottinghamshire , 30 Jun 2004

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Aaah, there's nothing like watching a resounding epic like this. Musicals are fun anyway, especially if they are done well within the genre they are placed. So when a producer can pull off a well balanced, drama laden film based around the errosian of religion, belifs and tradition and make it into a musical to boot, you have to take your hat off to him.

    See a fresh faced Paul Michael Glaser as one of the daughters love interest.

    This is a heavy, lengthy, and very memorable musical that I think everyone needs to watch, at least once.

  • Good fun, good laughs

    I watched this with my grandma, on her advise, thinking I'd have to be polite. However it was entertaining, toe-tapping and in some places eye-wateringly funny. I am not a fan of the musical genre as a rule, I can count the ones I'd watch again on one hand, but this is up with them.

  • One of the great classic musicals of all time

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    A one off great movie I hope nobody tries to do a remake in the future. It won`t work. There is only one Topol. Five stars.

    Great film. It hasn't dated and I thought it was just as relevant & enjoyable as when it was newly released.

  • A celebration of racism

    Rated - 2.0 stars  
    By BigMeUp (281 reviews) from Midlands, UK , 22 Apr 2010
    Some lovely songs; a life fable told at a leisurely - but acceptably fulfilling - pace; great acting ... these would normally make for a wonderful film, except that in this case we are being asked to accept Reb Tevye's final position, that marriage to a non-Jew is an abomination which cannot be tolerated.

    Kinda racist, isn't it?

    Very good acting with some powerful scenes. Had to reach for the tissues.
