    My 6th grade drama teacher showed this to the class. I enjoyed it very much!
  • November 29, 2007
    A nightmare-inducing combination of overacting and bad costumes in this Harlem-set bastardisation of "The Wizard of Oz". This is merely a flat-footed version of a jubilant show, putting Diana Ross as Dorothy in this miscast mess. The end result is an acid trip of bad dancing, gar...( read more)ish sets, and a Joel Schumacher-scripted mess.

    What can you say about the Wiz? It is a guilty pleasure. Some of the performances were awesome. Diana as Dorothy? Althought she kick the hell out of "Home" Amazing. Had some great creativity going on. Awesome cast. Quincy did some delightful work with the music. It did lack the ...( read more)feel from the play, however.

    Conversations heard while pitching this movie:


    Studio Exec: "I'd like to remake the wizard of Oz, but I want to make it even gayer. How can we do that?"


    Marketing Agent: "That's easy. Let's make it about Michael Jackson, and a band of singing negros! It'll stink the join

    ...( read more)t up AND shut up all those damn civil rights assholes"


    Studio Exec: "That's brilliant! Now, let's see what else we can ruin..."

  • September 25, 2007
    This is a "grand" musical but for some reason I just never really liked it. I guess that I'm getting old, or perhaps it's that I really don't like change but I just prefer the Wizard of Oz. It also falls under that category of why would you re-make a classic? Most people though t...( read more)hink that this is a four star movie and I'll go ahead and give it those four on all the good people that I know that like it that much.
  • September 25, 2007
    Overdone, in the old Hollywood 1960's style.
  • September 24, 2007
    If you like good music, you should check this movie out!! Nice soundtrak.
  • September 17, 2007
    Nipsey Russell is so short. Michael Jackson is so phenomenal and I love the flying monkeys.
  • September 13, 2007
    My sister and I watched this a few years back for nostalgia purposes and were shocked at how dull it was, it dragged on and on and on, especially the Emerald City dance number.
  • September 8, 2007
    I only saw a little bit of this movie, BUT IT LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!! GO THE KING OF POP!!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOO!! I LOVE YOU!!! well I mean I LOVE your music!!!
  • September 5, 2007
    Michael Jackson was still brown
  • September 4, 2007
    One of my all time favorite movies!!! Absolutely LOVED all the songs!!
  • September 4, 2007
    We should give this movie the same treatment as ET on the Atari. Bury all copies of it in an underground vault.
  • September 2, 2007
    I'm a sucker for musicals although this one was a bit dark for me and felt more like the Return to Oz film released later on. Still, the rich music and the good visuals like their yellow brick road of sorts were cool. MJ wasn't too disturbing either, haha.
  • September 1, 2007
