Farran Smith Nehme Film Comment Magazine Has there ever been a movie more in tune with the world of a girl's room? King understands that witnessing the heroine's private rituals is as close as we'll get to going inside Margie's mind. Jan 8, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member They even made a TV show with this flick in mind. It was called Margie & starred Cynthia Pepper as Margie. Lots of fun. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member The corn's a little high in this simple comedy but there is a sweetness too. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Typical teen movie, except for the student falling for her French teacher. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member great movie. fun to watch with daughter. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Much underrated Technicolor comedy with music showcases Jeanne Crain in the title role and captures the 1920's period flavor quite nicely; highly recommended.

I first saw when I was 13 or 14 at a friends house on the movie channel and have loved it ever since Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
