It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
... View MoreAlthough it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
... View MoreFanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
... View MoreIt's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
... View MoreThe puppy, the monkeys, the elephants, the crocodile, the lions, the tiger and the horses in this film are all natural so, I would say that they all are playing well. I do not know if I can say the same about Sonny & Cher. Cher's luck is that she looks very good. And both of them, Sonny & Cher, they are singing beautiful songs, very entertaining. George Sanders is George Sanders, big ego, big personality. It is one of the first films of the great William Friedkin. Just a musical without great expectations. The third episode, in which Sonny is a detective, is much more funny than the first two. Watch it only if you don't have anything better to do.
... View MoreThis flick is only viewable by those that have a huge amount of pot, and even then, it's a tough go. For guys, there is some redeeming value at being able to see Cher before she had her face screwed up by a doctor. And she DOES have a nice singing voice.The late 60's were a strange time for movies, and this is a really good example. Far out, groovy, and bitchin' don't quite describe it. Jaw-dropping in its silliness, apparently nobody had any shame in 1967 Hollywood.And Sonny, with that shaggy Beatles hair! Gosh, we were odd back then.Best avoided if ANYTHING else is on.
... View MoreYes, the movie has good music, but when you compare this with Sonny & Cher's other work, this is the worst I have seen. The film is stuffed with visual montages, & a meaningless plot. Sadly the movie has a lot of eye candy but not enough shots of a young, prime hard bodied Cher. The film does not have any humor which is what made their Variety show go. That element missing is the biggest problem, as I can only wonder why it was left out. Drama from Sonny & Cher puts you to sleep, & serious scenes from a couple whose only serious accomplishments in their lives is their music just doesn't work. The only thing that gets 1 point from me is the nostalgia value because other than that, this film is a total zero.
... View MoreThis is the starring debut for Sonny and Cher (their screen debut being WILD ON THE BEACH). It is a hodge-podge of Sonny's fantasies of a movie-star career and Cher's not wanting to have any part of it (a carry-over from real life... ironic, huh?) It has one of their best songs DON'T TALK TO STRANGERS, and Sonny's comedy timing is surprisingly good. They could have done a lot better with a real script, I feel, but it WAS 1967...
