There's more than stage talk in Dori Berinstein's documentary: Hiding within it is a remarkable, moving love story.

There's little sense of the Carol Channing beneath the overdone makeup - if there is one - except maybe to celebrate her fourth marriage to a high school classmate who died recently.

Carol Channing is 91 going on 7. That is meant as a compliment.

A film, and a life, worth cheering for, that will send audiences out of the theater on a cloud, whistling her iconic tunes, grinning from ear to ear.

It's no surprise that she never really succeeded on television or film because Carol Channing truly is larger than life.

Still, a documentary of this nature lives and dies by the personality of its subject and Carol Channing has plenty to spare.

Amazing woman, performer and human being. What would the world would be like with more attitudes like hers? This film is an amazingly cute love story too

A fantastic voyage through the life of one of Broadway's shinning stars. Quirky, funny and at times as campy as Carol herself, it has moments that are both touching and revealing.

The documentary is okay, but, the subject is entertaining to say the least . . .

She had it all: talent for comedy, drama, singing, dancing, acting, and not upstaging her co-stars till the proper moment. Oh, and incredible legs with a nice face and an unmistakable voice. No one deserves to be flattered with caricatures and mimics more.

CAROL CHANNING: LARGER THAN LIFE is a happy surprise. A film sure to put a huge smile on your face. Not the most insightful documentary, but also not a slick lovefest, LTL shows that there truly are amazing indefatigable people in this world. Carol Channing is a force of nature and this film gives us 90 minutes in the presence of this very much living legend.
