In addition to featuring many musical numbers, the film presents scenes both hilarious and heartbreaking.

      Liam D It's still fun look at classic musicals but it feels like it's running out of movies to show and cherish Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Smashing - and superior - sequel stuffed with great song and dance sequences, of course, but also making room for classic comedy routines, mini-tributes to Hepburn and Tracy and forgotten B&W sequences, and hosted poignantly and charmingly by Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire, hoofing together for the first - and last - time. Recommended. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review johnathon w Disappointing sequel to the classic documentary that has none of the narrative strength & charm of the original. Kelly & Astaire make charming hosts and even pull off some nice dance numbers but the film feels more like a glorified clip-show that a celebration of the MGM musical. Granted, it doesn't help that the first film used much of the best clips, though there are still some highlights, such as Fred Astaire's & Ginger Rogers's last number and Gene Kelly's classic dance on roller skates (the man was a master). However, the film instead chooses to use clips not only out of the MGM library but also not even musical's (it's fun to see Laurel & Hardy and the Marx Bro.'s, but not here). Overall, an okay watch but feels more like a money grab than a true documentary. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I enjoyed seeing some classic clips, but I didn't feel that the movie itself was very good. It's randomly thrown together with no rhyme or reason. Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire are legends and it is nice to see them clowning around, but a movie like this works better with several people taking turns sharing memories. (First and only viewing - 12/12/2014) Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Probably the most impressive opening cast credits in the history of cinema - other than Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, they're all in recycled clips though for this sequel that isn't just musicals this time. The two hosts do offer something new though with original singing and dancing interludes between the repeats which are a mix of song left on the cutting room floor from the first That's Entertainment, and other famous scenes from the Hollywood period of filmmaking that is no more. It's not a bad celebration of what's come before. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Best than the first one !

      Steve Warren The Barb (Atlanta) Movie magic. May 6, 2023 Full Review David A. Nardozzi Philadelphia Gay News For those who were fortunate enough to experience them the first time around, the movie will be an enjoyable recollection of this golden era. For those less fortunate it's still a grand entertainment, an art recaptured with its appeal intact. May 26, 2020 Full Review Ruth Batchelor Los Angeles Free Press A movie buff's technicolor dream. Nov 13, 2019 Full Review Richard T. Jameson Parallax View ... the new compilation lacks focus of any kind beyond a general let's-look-at-more-of-that-old-stuff. Mar 10, 2012 Full Review John J. Puccio Movie Metropolis It's more fluid, with fewer interruptions of the material, and several segments cover purely speaking segments rather than just song and dance.
