"This remake of 'The Music Man' is fantastic! Matthew Broderick is superb, and boyishly charming as Prof. Harold Hill. Kristin Chenoweth is delightful and brightens the screen in her portrayal of Marian Paroo. The supporting cast including Victor Garber and Molly Shannon are hysterical and right on cue! This is a winner from all directions. I was hypnotized into watching from the very first scene to the very last. It was warm, funny, and the music was greati** rare to see a piece of entertainment like this that goes back to the basics without any sex, violence, or crudeness. Just pure fun and wonderful acting. Cheers for ABC and Disney doing a fabulous job!"
"The first part of the movie starts out with a spaceship wreck(cool how it's sprawled across the landscape like that) and a horrifing trip through ape city which many people think makes it a pail imitation of the original, but that is not the main part of the movie. After getting chased by the apes, Astronaut Bret(James Fransiscus) and Nova(Linda Harrrison) end up in an underground city and this is where the plot thickens and gets interesting. Heston makes a brief appearence and takes the show to a dramatic end. The ending is a part i didnt like where they all died...seemed a bit silly realy.Especially how Taylor had managed to survive through so much.I hope i didnt spoil the ending for anyone but i thoughti**ucked.
Being that said it still is quite a good movie,and exciting."
"Director Gene Kelly (yes, the actor/dancer) directs this satire about a cheating men.
Robert Morse, Hot offthe success of the film version of 'How to Suceed in Business Without Really Trying' makes this film a hit by playing a Finch-liker character. Walter Matthau plays again the type he would later play to the hilt, the novice. Morse takes Matthau under his wing to how to have an affair with mini skits with famous cameos
This black comedy was strong for the 1960's but by todays standards it was be tame and cute
It still holds up 40 years later and still have an air of truth to it

"Director Ron Howard scores it big with this wonderful movie, and the plot is original; three old men who live at a retirement center sneak over to a close-by deserted house every day to take a swim in the swimming pool. But a group of aliens disguised as humans come down to earth to save some of their comrades that they left there thousands of years ago, who are now sealed in large rock-like cocoons beneath the ocean, and take them home. And when they put the cocoons in the swimming pool to keep them alive and the old men go for a swim, they come out feeling like a million bucks!"
