A joy to watch. 7/10

Rating: 7/10 (30 March 2014)

Review: I really enjoyed this heart warming story about how Mary Poppins came to the big screen. The main element that I enjoyed about the movie had to be the chemistry between the characters and a very well written script that had wit and an emotion with the little girls story. When you actually hear the real recordings at the end of the movie, you know that Emma Thompson's character must have been murderous to work with, but with the success of the movie, it was worth the hassle. Walt Disney had an eye for making classics that will last in everyone's memory forever, so after waiting 20 years to make this movie, he must have seen something that would have touched everyone's heart which is very rare nowadays. The director done a great job with putting this historical event together, but it has to be the performances that made the movies joy to watch. Enjoyable!
Round-Up: After the disappointing Cloud Atlas and the awful Larry Crowne, it's good to see Tom Hanks coming back to form with Captain Phillips and his performance in this film. Emma Thompson played her part extremely well. alongside the 3 writers and musicians that were helping her, or should I say, be dictated to, make the movie that became and still is an all time classic. Even the young looking Colin Farell played his part well which shows that they must have had faith in the storyline and script. I'm glad that the movie made over double the budget because it well deserved.
Budget: $35million Worldwide Gross: $113million
I recommend this movie to people who are interested in the making of Mary Poppins and the emotional ties that the writer had with the storyline. 7/10
