Product Description:
A would-be flapper in 1920s new york saves her friend from white slavers in a chinatown firecracker factory.Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca)Release Date: 06/03/2003Starring: Julie Andrews James FoxRun time: 138 minutesRating: GDirector: George Roy Hill
Amazon.com:
Julie Andrews is at her peak of adorability in this enjoyable (and surprisingly sarcastic) spoof of the 1920s. It has every trick: occasional silent-movie intertitles, flapper lingo ("Oh, banana oil"), and a laughable plot about women being sold into white slavery by the scheming manageress (splendid Beatrice Lillie) of a Hotel for Ladies, aided by a cabal of wicked Chinese. (The stereotypes are bearable only if you remember this is a spoof of silent movie melodrama.) Even with able support from Mary Tyler Moore and James Fox, this is Julie's show; she plays to the camera with the collusion of director George Roy Hill, who's clearly smitten with her silly streak. The movie has an annoying tendency to spend time on musical numbers--a Jewish wedding, a vaudeville act--that don't serve the plot. A future Broadway musical would create a new score, except for the delightfully catchy title tune. --Robert Horton

Rating: - Thoroughly Modern Millie
Funny movie and lots of good actor/actresses and a crazy story.Love stories are thread throughout the movie and have several twist and turns.Lots of singing and dancing and unexpected actions scenes. A little long so it might not appeal to young children. Would recommend 11 and older with family to really enjoy the movie. Carol Channing, Julie Andrews, John Fox and Mary Tayler Moore are just a few of the cast members.

- Thoroughly enjoyable...
I love me some Julie Andrews, and so I was really excited about this movie.It just sounded so fresh and funny and charming, and that all came from a simple film synopsis.So, I found it and watched it and I have to say that it was totally charming, pretty funny and at least contained a smattering of fresh to say the least.It isn't perfect (not many films are) but it has very little to pick at when you look at this venture as the fun filled romp it was meant to be.
So we have Millie ... Read More
