Oh woe

Rating: 2/10 (4 April 2005)

I may not be the world's most exuberant man. My general attitude toward life is one of negativity and hatred. That said, I fail to see how even the most syrupy of happy types (the kind of people who sing on their way to camping holidays) can't see that this film is pure wrongness in many, many respects.
The Von Trapp children are the most annoying creatures ever created. Whatever spawned them simply must be tracked down and eliminated. Why are they so happy? Why don't they mind all the ridiculous singing coming from that absurd woman? Why do they join in?
Seriously, it may be crowd-pleasing, but I just don't like the attitude it's conveying.
