Reviews for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Something of an oddity doubtless. But memorable for its visuals and its creepy, evil baddie.

Given that the film runs almost two-and-a-half hours, it's fairly clear that a substantial amount of trimming would have been appropriate.

The film is too long at well over two hours, but the effects are impressive for the time and the musical numbers zippy.

A fast, dense, friendly children's musical, with something of the joys of singing together on a team bus on the way to a game.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang contains about the best two-hour children's movie you could hope for, with a marvelous magical auto and lots of adventure and a nutty old grandpa and a mean Baron and some funny dances and a couple of [scary] moments.

Tedium incarnate.

Time has not enhanced its doubtful charms.
