      alan g Not quite as good as the reviews state, outdated plot mores from another era. Still great songs. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/26/24 Full Review Alec B Goofy but I enjoy the movie for it's outstanding choreography. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/14/23 Full Review Ian J If this is a cultural classic, I hate my culture. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/06/23 Full Review Gabriel J The movie is so heavily outdated and has so many parts that didn't age well and are just cringe. On many levels the movie just simply isn't good at all. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/06/23 Full Review daniel k Paul Rudd was not in this movie Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member My grandma had no cable and this was one of the only movies on VHS!

      Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader A profoundly sexist and eminently hummable 1954 CinemaScope musical with some terrific athletic Michael Kidd choreography and some better-than-average direction by Stanley Donen. Apr 9, 2012 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media Thrillingly energetic dances on film. Rated: 5/5 Dec 28, 2010 Full Review Variety Staff Variety This is a happy, hand-clapping, foot-stomping country type of musical with all the slickness of a Broadway show. May 16, 2008 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Contains one of the greatest set-pieces in American musicals. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 11, 2021 Full Review Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine Synthetic outdoor backdrops look oddly out of place in some scenes, but the show happily brims with gusto and melody. Howard Keel and Jane Powell top the cast. Nov 5, 2019 Full Review Virginia Graham The Spectator Good tunes, humour, imaginative presentation and abounding vitality are welded together to make this film the most Memorable Musical of 1954.
