Ken Adam's sets are inventive, but the special effects are shoddy, the songs instantly forgettable, and the leisurely length an exquisite torture.

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.

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

Ken Hughes directs in the resolutely bright over- exclamatory tones of someone working hard to make the party go.

Aug 13, 2015Will be rememberd as a classic musical even though the film is one giant middle finger to the viewers at the end, And in my eyes it's just one giant mess not making a whole lot of sense and gets sillier and sillier.Jamie C Super Reviewer

Apr 06, 2015Dick Van Dyke shimmers with the usual headache-inducing yet loveable jigs and playful dances besides a beautiful lady. Even the kids are charming in this one for once. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a very strange one, but its definitely worth a watch with the family, I grew up with this film. Robert Helpmann's long-nosed Childcatcher was the bane of my nightmares and probably will be of yours too if you haven't seen this vintage gem yet.Harry W Super Reviewer

Oct 02, 2014"Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang we love you." Ian Fleming's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is brought to the big screen as a lighthearted and fun family musical. Co-written by Roald Dahl, the story follows an inventor who rebuilds a broken down Grand Prix race car and ends up putting a little magic into it along the way. The performances are especially good; particularly Dick Van Dyke and Sally Ann Howes, who both have tremendous screen presence. Additionally, the dance choreography is remarkably good and full of energy. The songs too are incredibly lively, with a lyrical quality that makes them quite catchy. Marvelously entertaining, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a heartwarming film that can be enjoyed by all ages.Dann M Super Reviewer
