A classic, fun musical. Parts of it haven’t aged well but it’s overall still a fun watch
If you like old classic musical, you can't go wrong. If not, don't.
Preston’s charm is the bright star around which dances talent and joy and fun. Not my favorite musical, but certainly my favorite Music Man.
A well filmed bit of nostalgic Americana and a classic.
Beautiful. Fun. Cool songs. But yikes. It’ll always have a place in my heart but maybe this one should be left in the past.
Great songs, captivating dance numbers, an immersive setting, a few of my favorite musical characters, and an admittedly cringe love story.
Fine family film. Gives off substitute teacher vibes if that makes sense
I grew up on this one! Great musical!Classic! Full of heart!
Classical musical with tunes that will stick with you long after you’ve finished the movie.
Not perfect by any stretch but a very solid watch. The characters are fun and the music is memorable at least while iconic at best
