Did you really think a bunch of mean old Nazis could keep the angelic Julie Andrews from spreading her music and love?

The septet of blond and beaming youngsters who have to act like so many Shirley Temples and Freddie Bartholomews when they were young do as well as could be expected with their assortedly artificial roles, but the adults are fairly horrendous.
05/20/03
One of the most enduring, feel-good musicals ever made, with sing-along songs made for the entire family.
04/27/03
Even the most cynical of cretins--like myself--can't help but be charmed by this musical classic.

Apesar de repetir cada canção duas vezes, o filme jamais cansa, encantando graças ao frescor de todo o elenco - e, em especial, de Julie Andrews.

Some find the movie spiritual, others regard it as flapdoodle.

This is one of my 'favorite things'. Don your white dress with blue satin sash or a pair of cool lederhosen, practice your scales, and sing along.

But it is almost three hours long. And it is so drippy.

For all of its qualities, the greatest thing about the movie is the Rodgers and Hammerstein score.
09/10/02
It's fashionable to dislike it, but, hey, it's really a well made movie
08/26/02
It is an outstanding family film, filled with glorious music, a real-life love story right out of Jane Eyre, a courageous moral choice, and a heart-stopping escape.
04/13/02
The movie has almost everything: music, romance, kids, spectacular scenery, religion, sentiment, comedy high and low, and, at the end, intrigue and adventure.

Top CriticThe music is wonderful from start to finish -- more than enough reason on its own to sit through the lengthy film.
07/25/01
one of the last and most successful products of a less-cynical cinematic age
02/27/01
It's a bulldozer of a musical, plowing straight through things like taste, restraint, grace, and style in favor of big, big, and more big.
02/27/01
A warmly pulsating, captivating drama.
