Kitsch as Kitsch Can



I hate to love Disney, but this orgy of sugary spoon-feeding is (almost) irresistible. It's episodic, i.e. undramatic, it's overlong, it's simple-minded... and absolutely marvelous! The tunes are catchy as hell, Julie Andrews is a real Dame with charm to boot (and strangely attractive in her nanny outfit), van Dyke's lamentable Cockney-turn gets funnier with each viewing and the animated sequences add a nice touch of day-dreaming.

There's good kitsch and bad kitsch. This is one of the greatest good kitsch movies. Watch another Julie Andrews performance in one of the worst bad kitsch movies: The Sound of Music.

8 out of 10 Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!es
