The original version was soooo much better. I didn't see much of it but I saw the scene in the library where they turned Marian into a princess and that was horrible.
Professor Harold Hill (Matthew Broderick) was a con-artist has a musical degree from the University of Indiana.
Marian Paroo (Kristin Chenoweth) has fallen in love with the shyster to uncover the truth about Harold & Harold feels the same way about her.
I'm a big fan of Matthew Broderick, and I thought that this movie was right up there with the original '62 version. Perhaps some of the actors could have been replaced, or more potent. But all in all, it's a thumbs up. For modern.
once i have seen this movie i have not stopped thinking about at least ONE song from this movie! it's very catchy and very family friendly and Matthew Broderick did a really good job in this movie. he had too much fun lol!
