Dorothy twirls from Kansas to a lesser place (if that's possible)

Rating: 10/10 (31 October 2005)

Don't expect full frontal nudity - but otherwise you'll be completely satisfied! A terrific musical comedy about the benefits of being satisfied with what you've got. Dorothy sets out to meet the much-rumored-about wizard of Oz to get her back to Kansas, singing, dancing and frolicking all along. You simply have to be swept away by the witty songs, the splendid choreography and the charming dialogue. Even if you don't like kids in movies (like I do) you will be charmed by Judy Garland and the incredibly well-cast inventory of this film (munchkins, scarecrow, tinman and all....) Just realize how influential this film has proved to be (Toto, the dog, inspired the name of a rockband; the yellow brick road supplied us with a very good Elton John - tune...) Who would've thought that there is no better place than home? It isn't! If you should not believe it - watch "The Wizard of Oz"!!!!
