Plot: Julie Andrews is at her peak of adorability in this enjoyable (and surprisingly sarcastic) spoof of the 1920s. It has every trick: occasional silent-movie intertitles, flapper lingo ("Oh, banana oil")...( read more read more... ), and a laughable plot about women being sold into white slavery by the scheming manageress (splendid Beatrice Lillie) of a Hotel for Ladies, aided by a cabal of wicked Chinese. (The stereotypes are bearable only if you remember this is a spoof of silent movie melodrama.) Even with able support from Mary Tyler Moore and James Fox, this is Julie's show; she plays to the camera with the collusion of director George Roy Hill, who's clearly smitten with her silly streak. The movie has an annoying tendency to spend time on musical numbers--a Jewish wedding, a vaudeville act--that don't serve the plot. A future Broadway musical would create a new score, except for the delightfully catchy title tune. --Robert Horton

    This movie was fantastic and silly. I loved the quick humor, the "modern" fashin, the charming songs, and the lovely actors in this movie that was strangely serious at it's reacurring story line.

    *Meh* Kinda silly, kinda long. The one song I like from the musical was not in the movie. But really, what do you expect from a 60's musical? Not much.

    After about a million viewings by the wife, I actually like this movie now. And I can sing all the songs without even knowing it.

    I loved this when I was a kid but I recently saw it again after having seen the play version. The play is definitely better.

    At times it is fun and it is really silly but it just crosses the line into stupid a bit much. Certainly there are some classic things and I have to still give it points for the nostalgia it produces, but that is a personal thing. It isn't a very good movie. It just goes a bit too far into the "stupid" a lot of the time. Catchy songs and it is fun to an extent but it hasn't kept my affection after seeing it in my more "mature" years of life.

    The movie was not at all what I was expecting going into it. The silent movie through backs were hilarious as was Carol Channing! The plot was a little predictable, but entertaining nonetheless. The musical numbers weren't necessarily the best, but they still worked. Overall, the movie is entertaining, fun, unique, and definitely worthy of a good laugh

    Cute, some hilarious parts. A very sweet decent family-appropriate movie. The song and dances scenes tend to get a little long though. I would watch it again.

    If I grit my teeth during the unnecessary musical numbers, there's quite an enjoyable pastiche of silent movies and the roaring twenties in general lurking underneath. The cast cheerfully send themselves up and it's infectiously daft.

    The beads! One of the very best opening scenes in a movie ever. Costumes are great, plenty of jokes, plus tapdancing in the elevator.

    Highly amusing and immature. A must see to bring you back to your childhood (even if you're like me and a few years out of date).

    I kind of want to see this actually. I've never seen the musical, and It looks pretty good. Julie Andrews I know Is good, and probably amazing in "Thoroughly Modern Millie!"

    It seems that this movie has been seemingly forgotten these days. But, the performances by the whole cast are hilarious and spot on, especially Beatrice Lillie and Carol Channing. I think it's legacy suffers from being on the cusp of 70's gritty realism.

    Not what I expected. Won't be auditioning for it next fall. Don't appreciate the making fun of Asians or the white slavery part. Julie Andrews and Mary Tyler Moore wonderful, though. Cute songs, I guess.

    If you can stay awake for the first 5 mins...you'll love it. The rest of the movie is definately worth staying awake for though.

    In the middle of this, Julie Andrews sings a Jewish wedding song. Well, why not? Though I would rather hear Bea Lillie telling her Asian henchmen that they're dreary.
