Stop being sick on my face

Rating: 1/10 (24 October 2009)

I watched this back in the day when I was single digits and it went in one ear and out the other. I couldn't remember anything about it except the tornado sequence. I watched it again in my 20's and 30's mainly at Xmas as you're forced to at that time. Still I couldn't understand all the fuss. Now, nearly 50 years old I can categorically state this film is aWFul. Yes, it is like a dream, a forgettable one and as a fantasy more like a bad acid trip. There is nothing 'heart warming' about it. Those that find that must be psychopathic. The acting is flat, including the 'famous' Judy Garland and the more she and the other stars over-act the flatter it becomes. None of the characters are likable or interesting and the whole experience is like someone being sick on your face. The fairy from the north is more ugly and disgusting than the wicked witch of the east and the dog Toto out acts them all. The only good part was when the tree slapped Dorothy for pinching an apple. THAT was the only cool thing in it. And that only probably 'cause you wanna slap her yourself for being such a precocious non starter
