Leave your thoughts about Girl Crazy.
| The New YorkerPauline KaelWith George Gershwin's music and plenty of elbow room, for its twin stars, Girl Crazy is a funny, fast and completely infectious entertainment. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe highlight of the film is all the bouncy Gershwin brother tunes. |
| Movie MetropolisJohn J. PuccioThe movie is helped by music and lyrics by George and Ira Gershwin. |
| Goatdog's MoviesMichael W. Phillips, Jr.[Garland and Rooney] seem like old pros at making the plot machinations seem at least a little fresh. |
| User Reviewjay nMy ultimate favorite Mickey and Judy movie! Not only is this their best acting wise, but the film incorporates the best of the Gershwin songs with great numbers like "But Not For Me", "Could You Use Me?", and "I've Got Rhythm" (with the famous Tommy Dorsey orchestra!). |
| User ReviewRussell GI just love any Mickey rooney moie he's too funny |
| User ReviewGregg DI defy anyone who doesn't at least like a Mickey Rooney & Judy Garland movie |
| User ReviewKristi SAparently there are two versions of this movie. I think I saw the earlier one, but it's not on here, so I'm rating this one. I love the cowboy scenes. |
| User ReviewAnonymous UserNeeds more Garland and less Rooney. He's all bad shtick and weird tics, while she gets saddled with an oddball pseudo slo-mo C&W number called "Biding My Time". Also, more Nancy Walker please, but that's always the case. |
