Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
mattkratz This show was a clever mix of comedy, drama, and music. It featured a cutthroat food mogul who adopted five orphaned girls in an attempt to seal a deal and improve his image. Of course, the girls changed his life, and he changed theirs. The girls would frequently engage in song to reflect the story of the episode. I loved the one where a guy tried to scam a girl who had just gotten her drivers' liscence, or where a Russian guy was over, or where the girl had her "Sweet 16" at the same time the Cuban Missile Crisis Hit. (the show was set in the early 60s.) This was a thoroughly enjoyable show with cute girls, good episodes, and an ensemble that clicked! Joeseph Bologna was good in the lead.*** out of ****
samantha-collins-1 I would like to see Rags to Riches go on a DVD version or VHS that show really was loved by me I use to tape them but my VHS tapes got ruined so please someone out there looking at my comments please make it happen either put it on the network TV and run repeats or do a VHS or DVD version, that was the bomb show, also maybe think about doing a reunion as well I would like to see the other characters as well, the show was very interesting and cute especially little mickey, it was well worth the watch but I hate they went off the air but oh well everyone is grown now but again please, please, please find it there hearts to do a VHS, DVD, or repeats on the network TV Thanks Samantha
imperialist14 I first saw this show in 1986 and it became one of my favorite all time television shows. The Singing and dancing was great - especially enjoyed how they reworked the 50's and 60's tunes to reflect the actions in each episode. The girls were cute - especially important to a teenage boy (had a major crush on Bridget Michele (Diane) and Kimiko Gelman (Rose).Unfortunately, I never did get to see all 21 episodes of the show, and only was able to record four episodes on VHS in 1987 (which I have since transferred to DVD and still enjoy).Sad the show did not even last one season, but it is truly a nostalgic gem for both the 1980's and 1960's.
mustang1-1 What a refreshing movie and series this was. My girls loved it. We couldn't wait until the next episodes.I wish there was a place to buy the TV series.I rank this right along with "That Thing You Do". 10 for family entertainment.
