Leave your thoughts about Whatever Happened to Harold Smith?.
| Sacramento BeeJoe BaltakeSteiner and Hewitt couldn't decide which tale they wanted to tell -- Vince's or Harold's -- and so we get both, each one getting in the way of the other. |
| Toronto StarGeoff PevereIf you're looking for an industrial-strength dose of twinkly twaddle, here's your hypo. |
| Empire MagazineEmma CochraneMost unforgivably, the period detail is all over the place and the punk/disco soundtrack a real hotch potch, leaving this a story with no real sense of time or place. |
| User ReviewJosie PThis is just the cutest, most ironic movie. Floating turtles! |
| User ReviewSergio SThis movie is one of the funniest, most ironic, and purely great that I've ever seen. It's got disco, it's got punk, it's got magic tricks and lame people in love... and the final scene! |
| User ReviewPrivate UI thought this was an amazing and original movie, I suggest anyone who has a sense of humor and an interest in magic should watch. I want to watch it again. |
| User ReviewLuke SA cracking feelgood, upbeat tale of randomness and telekenesis. Set in the Disco vs Punk world of the late 70's. Totally under-appreciated, hidden gem. Plus it features one those finalés that leaves you with a big beaming grin for hours. |
| User ReviewRosie EGreat story line,fab charecters.grand music,what more do you need ? |
| User ReviewKevin HOMG this movie is so cute and I love it so much! It's so discoriffic and fabu. You must see it. |
| User ReviewMike BVery funny and sweet "period" 70s movie, with cool music, and sci-fi elements added for good measure. |
