I saw this in Video Production, although it's a typical formulaic musical, it is very entertaining and lively, a movie everyone should experience to get their opinons on it. It gets racy at times though, especially during the lengthy penultimate number.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the characters and their motivations. Why does Kathy at first lie about liking the movies? Why does Don lie about his background? How is that different from the way that Lina behaves? Have there been any new inventions that you have seen that have changed people's jobs a lot? What inventions do you use that your parents didn't have when they were children? Your grandparents? Children might like to see some of the early silent movies to get an idea of what Hollywood was like in the days depicted in this movie. The films of Charlie Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy, Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd are still wonderful, and kids will enjoy learning that a story can be told without words.

A glorious feeling...
It's rare to find great, wholesome, innocent movies everyone can enjoy. This is a great film which can pretty much be seen by anyone. The songs are catchy and fun and the dancing routines are beautiful. Have fun!

this one's fine for toddlers
the music numbers are great, a little kids love them. my son loved this movie at age 3. the dialogue is inane, but it doesn't really matter. the costumes and dance routines are what make the film fun.
