Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Kirpianuscus not exactly for its subject. but for the wise manner to use the ambiguity. for a form of refined eroticism. for the status of story about everything. ironic, seductive and... almost perfect. it is something obscure in its great charm. the humor, the songs, the relations between characters, the atmosphere are just parts of sketch. but the portrait is so complex , a web with small pieces, than it has the gift to be a different but the same in essence Cabaret. the show and the lives. the challenges and the lights who are the most useful protection for a too vulnerable truth. Julie Andrews is just great. but , not ignoring her impressive talent, she has the advantage of the right story who force her to do the best work in the admirable way. so, a provocative film.

brefane Victor/Victoria is a reasonably entertaining film that unfortunately lacks pacing and originality, and preaches to the audience. The cast all have their moments with Warren and Preston being standouts. And like Blake Edwards' The Great Race (1965) it relies too heavily on over-extended slapstick with everything in sight being smashed which becomes tiresome and repetitive. The sets remain sets, and all of the actors except for Andrews are and remain American. Europe in the 30s is not convincingly evoked. The film is too talky and does come off as homosexual propaganda with Andrews lecturing James Garner as well as the audience. Overall, the film feels more like a comedy from the early 60s which was the most prolific period for Edwards, Andrews and Garner. The musical numbers are fine and there is fun to be had, but it's somewhat overrated, overlong and rather forgettable. The film became a Broadway musical directed by Edwards and starring Andrews and it worked better on stage than it does on film.

SnoopyStyle It's 1934 Paris. Carole "Toddy" Todd (Robert Preston) is a gay cabaret singer. Victoria Grant (Julie Andrews) is struggling to get a singing job and faints from starvation. Toddy is thrown out of his latest gig after starting a fight that trashes the club. Toddy comes up with an idea. Victoria pretends to be a man to get a job singing as a female impersonator with Toddy as her/his manager. Grant takes on the alter ego of gay Polish Count Victor Grazinski who was disowned by his family. Grant impresses leading agent Andre Cassell (John Rhys-Davies). King Marchand (James Garner) is the most successful nightclub owner in Chicago who finds Victor/Victoria irresistible. His girlfriend Norma Cassady (Lesley Ann Warren) is a real wildcat.There are some fine comedy being played. There are some hilarious gags in the restaurant early on. Robert Preston plays a homosexual like a real person. Julie Andrews is her charming self and she plays a man with equal charm. Blake Edwards does some of his best work. It takes on some gender bending sex slapstick farce with such a deft touch. It's never mean-spirited and has such joyous fun. The key role is James Garner. He has to be a manly man but also has a believable sensitive side. He is definitely the man for the job. And Robert Preston has a hilarious song and dance at the end. There are some great funny moments.

TheLittleSongbird I can't believe how much I loved Victor/Victoria. It is charming, witty and a lot of fun, and you can tell everybody involved with it had a ball. To be honest, I wasn't sure whether I would like this movie. I thought it would be a vehicle for Julie Andrews like Star! was and little more, and the story at first I wasn't sure about and I can't quite put my finger on why.I am so glad though that I saw it, because it was an absolute hoot and infinitely better than expected. This is so much more than a Julie Andrews vehicle, while it is not her best film it is one of her more enjoyable ones. As for Andrews she is wonderful. Here she does play an atypical role on the surface, looking at Mary Poppins and Sound of Music you would never guess Andrews would play a bloke. But she does play the role with wit and charm, and to be doubly sure she was comfortable she is even given some fun songs to show off her very angelic voice, she is especially impressive in the show-stopper that is Le Jazz Hot with very clever execution of the fiendishly difficult two-octave slide.That's not all. Andrews is supported by an equally impressive cast. James Garner is dashing and immensely likable as the heterosexual troubled by his attraction to Andrews' character. Robert Preston is also outrageously camp but in a good way- Shady Dame from Seville is hilarious-, while Lesley Ann Warren(very funny and very sexy), John Rhys Davies and especially Alex Karras give stellar supporting turns as well.The songs are just great, especially the moving Crazy World. The melodies are memorable and fun and the lyrics are deliciously witty, and I have to say the cast did great justice to those songs not just in the performances but in making them their own too. Just as good is the choreography, which manages to be sprightly and energetic. Blake Edwards also deserves a lot of credit for two things, one is his funny and witty script, the other is his affectionate and tender direction while never being too showy.The production values are top drawer, the sets and scenery are very elegant and pleasing on the eyes, the lighting is never dull and the costumes especially the drag costumes are colourful arrays. The story and romance is interesting with very rare a false or dull note even with the lengthy length.All in all, a delightful movie and a must see for fans of Julie Andrews, Blake Edwards, musicals or James Garner. 10/10 Bethany Cox
