Clevercell Very disappointing...

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Sparki This is a sparkling bonbon of an entertainment that kids and grownups alike can enjoy as a slew of entertainment's brightest stars portray beloved Mother Goose characters who help Mother Goose's son solve the mystery of his missing mom. (The Three Blind Mice (Bobby Brown) as film noir detectives! The Three Little Kittens ('80s band the Stray Cats)as a rock band! Georgie Porgie (Art Garfunkel) as the owner of a nightclub and Mother Hubbard (Elayne Boosler) running a diner! Gotta love it!)My only complaint is that David Bowie appeared nowhere in the cast (but then I'm a Bowie fan)The music is infectious and sticks in the brain and the costumes and sets are adorably quirky.I recommend this movie highly, whether you're 4 or 104+ or anywhere in between

cyberdale "Quirky" doesn't begin to describe this. If you're not in the mood for this, you may well find it intensely annoying, but if you relax there's much to enjoy for adults as well as kids (my 5-year-old daughter adores it). It's a veritable Who's Who of 80's pop culture (remember Pia Zadora??). In fact, the lead actor Dan Gilroy is about the only one I didn't recognize, although he does a fine job. The acting is at once broad and deadpan, with lots of wordplay and bad puns.Fans of the cult musician/composer (and former child actor--see "The Swan" with Grace Kelly) Van Dyke Parks will take special pleasure in his whimsical score; Van Dyke even acts in this one. Director Jeff Stein ("The Kids Are Alright") has his 80s MTV video skills down (fans of the fish-eye lens will have a ball), but the story meanders to a pleasant conclusion, and if it's not your cup of tea, you can at least enjoy "spot the cameo" (look! It's Dweezil Zappa!).

MariahCarey1088 This has been my favorite movie ever since I was 2. My mom taped it when it aired in 1990, and I've watched it ever since. Watching it over and over again makes it the funniest movie I've ever seen. I recommend this to children and even adults because it is very entertaining. Believe it or not, there are many famous people in this movie as well.

thriller023 I loved this movie as a kid...I watched it so many times i think the tape wore out. The imagery is so good and it's bursting with so many stars! (among my favorites: Paul Simon and Little Richard...even though Little Richard's performance was so good it scared me somewhat) If you've never seen this movie i suggest watching it right away because it shouldn't be missed.
