Movie Reviews

The Retro Set - 8/10 by Nathanael Hood...one of the warmest, most delightful, and honest portrayals of female adolescence in cinema.
Creative Loafing - 8/10 by Matt BrunsonA memorable picture in which youthful exuberance believably gives way to the bracing pain of parental betrayal and dashed expectations.
Movie City News - 7/10 by Douglas PrattThe beauty of the comedy is in its closeness to the emotions of the youngsters
User Review - 10/10 by Lee Ras a child, I went out of my way to see this movie because it was billed as a comedy starring my then hero, peter sellers. Of course, that being said, it was a mostly serious movie; not at all what I expected, and not even a "comedy" in the current American sense of the word. It was even SAD at times!!! I was bored to death. (I still see it sometimes billed as a "comedy" and while it is mildly humorous at times, it was clearly not written as a "ha-ha comedy." As a child, most of the movie went right over my head... but watching it again, (several times), I now understand: it's an excellent, intelligent, sensitive, wise, and deceptively finely crafted and under-rated movie. The same guy who co-wrote this movie (nunally johnson) also wrote the man in the grey flannel suit; another of my very favorite movies (warning: only see the full uncut original movie; do not see the butchered-for-tv version of the man, which loses most of the original plot. Also the original book is superb.) Anyhow, the world of henry orient is highly recommended for adults (children will completely miss all the intelligent bits). peter sellers acting is shockingly bad at times here... but more on this later: according to wikipedia... the original book was a semi-autobiographical essay by nunally johnson's daughter... who as a teen, crushed on middle-aged pianist oscar levant (the levant is where the sun rises... that is to say, the east, or the "orient," hint, hint.) NOW that I know this; I can see sellers trying to poke fun at levant... who was also a commedian and who (i assume) sellers probably knew personally in 1964 when the movie was made. without knowing that sellers was making fun of levant; nothing he did was funny. However, it's at least a little funnier, knowing what sellers was aiming at, with his performance. Levant was in several movies; it might help to see one of his performances BEFORE watching a movie which parodies him... or just see the movie, and understand that sellers is acting so weird because he's trying to make poke fun at another actor.
User Review - 10/10 by Adam CDelightful comedy with a wonderful cast set in NYC.
User Review - 10/10 by Art SI've seen this film several times with my wife and kids. It is a favorite. Peter Sellers was a special actor but everyone in this movie hit the mark to make it memorable.
User Review - 10/10 by Brad DVery funny movie with a strange plot that I find interesting.
User Review - 10/10 by Barbara BWhen I saw this in 1964, I absolutely loved it. No idea how I would respond in 2009. I don't want to spoil my memory of my first viewing, by re-viewing.
User Review - 10/10 by Megan .In my opinion, this is a film that us girls are more likely to enjoy. Guys- take caution; Peter Sellers has less screen time in this film than that of two teenage girls. And if the prospect of watching these girls follow Peter Seller's character around NYC in complete giddyness out of their crush on him doesn't interest you, then I suggest you skip this film. However, the friendship between the girls is charming and endearing, and there are lots of funny moments in this film- so I recommend it to all. For us girls, the theme of this film is something we can all identify with and laugh along with- so it was a very enjoyable movie for me.
User Review - 10/10 by Bruce BFor me the best coming-of-age teen girls movie. The is the Peter Sellers persona (Pink Panther) from the negative point of view. But no this movie is not about Peter Sellers or Paula Prentice. It is nice to see that Mr. Sellers did not have such an ego that he would refuse to do such a caricature of his normal character.)
