One of the all time great feel good-movies

Rating: 9/10 (28 April 2001)

This film was never going to win the Oscar for best original screenplay, some of the direction is corny in the extreme, and the acting is satisfactory.
Despite these defects this has got to be one of the greatest feel good movies of all time. The plot while undemanding is cheerful and optimistic and the combination of music and dance thoroughly uplifting.
This is also one of the few films which you can watch over and over again and get the same level of enjoyment (a fact which I think both its admirers and critics would agree on!) And its continuing television popularity is testimony to this.
