Audience Member The movie itself is not very good, but the fifteen minutes that take place at Disneyland were neat and allow you to see what the park looked like in its earlier days. The rest of the film aside from that was sadly not worth watching. (First and only viewing - 1/11/2019) Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Loved the movie and would like to buy it if I could find it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Thought it to be a fine movie for the whole family to watch. I enjoyed it Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member a fantastic tony curtis romp plus a must for all disney park nerds as there is a lot of cinema quality footage of disneyland in the early 60's. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member This was really cute. Penny is adorable!! I want to go to Disneyland now.
