 DOLLY AND WALL-E ! August 22, 2008
B. BURNETT (South Africa)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This movie has always been one of my personal favorites, despite all the negative response at the time of its original release, and what wonderful vindication, to discover that its charm lasted 700 years, to be the companion and inspiration of our beloved Wall-E! One often sees lists of best this and best that, and topping any list of Most Poignant Moments On Film must surely be the scene from Wall-E, where he watches his battered, treasured tape of Hello Dolly, and clasps his hands together - pure movie magic! I see that Hello Dolly is very high on Amazon's list of bestsellers - thank you, Wall-E for inspiring a new appreciation of Dolly, and when you win the Oscar at the next awards, Dolly will join in your celebration!
Promise You'll Never Go Away, Dolly! July 23, 2008
Daniel Thompson (Atlanta, GA USA)
Hello, Dolly! was the first Barbra Streisand movie I ever saw. I was only 14 years old, and I was completely captivated and under the spell of the movie's magic. I had occasionally heard Barbra sing on television specials, but Dolly was the first time I'd seen her on the big screen. For some reason I missed seeing Funny Girl when it was first released.
The absolute best parts of the movie to me are Barbra's singing and the incredible score. Being a musician, I can fully appreciate the music. Every song is a masterpiece, and oh, so singable. To this day I still hum tunes from the show, and they never grow old.
While watching the movie again recently, I fell in love with the music all over again, but this time I really paid attention to the dancing. Wow! I forgot how fabulous the dance numbers are. And of course there are the costumes and sets. I just love every aspect of this movie, and since I have worn out my VHS version, I'm ordering the DVD. I can't wait to see it in widescreen, the way I remember it in the theater.
Barbra's voice is top-notch throughout the film, and it was from watching Hello, Dolly! that I first became a Barbra Streisand fan. I love anything she does musically. Her voice is her gift to the world, and we are so fortunate be the recipients of her rare and precious talent. I wish there were more singers like her.
I highly recommend Hello, Dolly! to anyone who wants to just sit and be entertained. You will be, I assure you.
Magical, my favorite musical of all time July 10, 2008
J. Burgos (West Hollywood, CA United States)
I have watched this many, many times on VHS. While my short review will not delve into production/plot or talent trivia, I can only say that this musical has given me years of enjoyment. I cannot think of this film without a smile on my face. I dont know exactly why, because I am not a fan of musicals in general, but this movie seems to always lift me up no matter when I watch it. Im not big on broadway or hollywood trivia, but I can only say that I am so happy to see this on DVD widescreen. Hell, Im not that big a fan of Streisand or Mathau, but somehow I cannot imagine anyone else in the title roles. Not to be missed is the title number Hello Dolly, Streisand seems to glide on air and I think her voice was at the peak of her very talented career. Brilliant film.
Hello Dolly! July 8, 2008
A. Shields (Ozark Mountains, In Missouri, USA)
This is an awsome musical I am updating to DVD's so I had this on VHS. Have watched it over and over. Anything with Barbara Streisand and Walter Mathew is wonderful.
 What the hell was THAT? June 30, 2008
Mike Stanfill (Dallas, Texas)
I found little to recommend this film except the sheer effort that obviously went into its production. After finally seeing it for the first time my first thoughts were "That was wildly miscast, and the plot made NO sense whatsoever". Subsequent investigation proved I am not alone in these opinions, the substance of which can be found in many other reviews of this film.
In toto, if you're a fan of Barbra and immense egos then this is the film for you. Otherwise, rent or buy The Music Man (Special Edition). You'll have a much better time.
