Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
rodrig58 Jane Powell was 89 years old in April 2018, and Julie Newmar will be 85 years old in August 2018. Together with other girls and guys, they have made a lively film. Howard Keel is a pleasant presence, but not as enjoyable as in "Kismet", made the next year. Anyway, it's a classic directed by the same immortal Stanley Donen (just completed 94 years in April 2018).
SnoopyStyle It's 1850 Oregon Territory. Adam descends from the mountain into town to look for a wife. Tavern server Milly accepts the marriage and they return to his cabin. She is overwhelmed and surprised with not only Adam but also his six equally uncouth brothers. Milly decides that the brothers need a makeover and six brides to care for them.This is gosh darn G-rated old fashion song and dance musical. The premise can be dated although I can imagine a remake with some changes. The best section is the barn rising. It is rip roaring good times. It's fun and joyous. Despite the dated story, it's still very watchable. The major issue is trying to individualize the brothers and the brides. They tend to blend together.
Living the Wholesome Life With 7 boys in our family who love singing, dancing and acting this is one of the favorite movies in our house. It's a romantic, fun-filled musical. I love that the heroine exemplifies hard work. I love how it illustrates that women can set standards and boundaries and it helps everyone when you stick to them. I love that it shows that if you think something is wrong you should speak up and let your thoughts be known. **Talking points - What are the proper ways to treat women? Does anyone care more for a person than their parents? Do you think different rules in our home would serve our family better? Gideon has a crucial conversation with Adam - is there a crucial conversation that you have been wanting to have? What is it? What has been stopping you? If you share your feelings and nothing changes, do you still feel proud of yourself?
jastdi2 I see complaints of this wonderful movie that it is sexist, etc. What fun. Have the complainers never read the Steven Vincent Benet original? In the original story the whole idea of the abduction was Millie's. She came up with the idea to abduct the town's girls so that she might have some help out there. In the film Millie is the good guy and Howard Keel the villain. I am told that I must fill ten lines with prose to be published, so I apologize to readers for my having to ramble on. Who cannot fall to fall in love with Jane Powell as I did in 1954. I am still in love with her in 2015. My brother-in -law was able to allow me to see this film once again. I owe him for the privilege. I hope equally that all might see this wonderful film.
