Most helpful review Thoroughly Modern Millie

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Far too long and probably deeply racicist but what a hoot! Julie Andrews sings in Yiddish and does early career boob gag! Particularly amazed by Carol Channing's performance as Muzzie - still looks like a man in drag but an amazingly physical performance. Perfect hangover afternoon viewing - just skip the overture and the intermission music.

  • Thoroughly Modern Millie

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By Miriam from Ealing, London , 06 Mar 2011
    A fun and enjoyable musical. Loved the Tapioca song and dance.

    Interludes at the beginning of a film are pointless.

  • WAY too long

    Rated - 2.0 stars

    I was really disappointed in this film, it's WAY too long and parts are so boring. Why do we have to have a 5 minute overture of just music and a 5+minute intermission??? There are no really memorable song or dance routines to make this a 'great' musical.

    A decent edit would make this much more enjoyable.

  • Julie Andrews classic

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By surreyfilmlover (34 reviews) from Surrey , 09 Nov 2010
    Over 2 hours 30 but a very enjoyable Julie Andrews classic performance. If it had been cut to 1h 30 it could well have been a 'Carry on'. A fun, dull, Autumn afternoons viewing.

    Julie Andrews at her best - but Carol Channing steals the show. Brilliant family entertainment - all singing and dancing.

  • A bit of fluff

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By a customer from Buckhurst Hill, Essex , 27 Apr 2009
    Not that you could believe for one minute you could be viewing anything more than a dated comedy (by today's standards), it nevertheless provides a lot of fun in the most innocuous manner. Even though its three female leads are convincing - even if exaggerated - portrayals of how we might think of ladies in the flapper era, I sat through the film with a fixed idiotic grin, subconsciously enjoying the art deco sets and delightful attention to detail of the furnishings and fashions.
