Product Description:
A would-be flapper in 1920s new york saves her friend from white slavers in a chinatown firecracker factory.Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca)Release Date: 06/03/2003Starring: Julie Andrews James FoxRun time: 138 minutesRating: GDirector: George Roy Hill
Amazon.com:
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'), 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

Rating:  - 'This is a Bad, Disgusting, Disturbing, Racist Movie!'
I saw this movie last year (2007), because my school did the play (which is fabulous). I was aware of the racism in the story at that time, but only knew it to be mild and shown in a negative light. I was horrified by what I saw in the movie. The adorable, sweet, funny Ching Ho and Bun Foo, are replaced by creepy, perverted, 'Orientals', who come from a Chinatown, that bares a resemblance to the Biblical image of Babylon. The Chinese are portrayed as rat-like vermin, and the actual images of Big ... Read More
Rating:  - Thoroughly Leaden Millie
Imagine ordering the most succulent. lightest. frothiest souffle imaginable, only to be served something made out of marble.I don't know how it happened: Julie Andrews tries her best to inflate this lead balloon of a movie with her wonderful voice and her native wit, but at the point where Bea Lillie intones that "they all must die" trust me, you'll be rooting for her and her dart gun.
Rating:  - Wonderful!
I haven't enjoyed a movie more in a long time than watching "Thoroughly Modern Millie." Julie Andrews was just wonderful in this film as well as Mary Tyler Moore with the added bonus of Carol Channing playing Muzzy. I was browsing on amazon for any Julie Andrews movies and this gem came up. I had never seen or heard of this film, and after watching it was not dissapointed!

Rating: - "So beat the drums 'cause here comes thoroughly modern Millie now!"
This is one of the most incredibly light hearted, and beloved musicals from the golden era of movie magic. Starring an unrivaled cast of Carol Channing, Mary Tyler Moore, and Julie Andrews as the title character Millie. The movie begins with an unexpected crime, then moves to the thoroughly traditional Millie walking the streets of 1922's New York, and updating her look to the tune of the toe tapping introductory song "Thoroughly Modern Millie". The movie keeps the pace with catchy iconic songs, ... Read More
Rating: - THOROUGHLY WACKY & WILD FUN, BUT MUCH TOO LONG FOR FARCE
Vivacious 1922 flapper Millie Dilmont provided Julie Andrews with one of her best screen roles, and a showcase for her skills as an excellent comedienne.Career girl Millie loves life ( She says, "Now's the time for fun, especially for the new woman. The old rules are out and they haven't made up the new ones yet ... I'm going to learn to smoke, drink and, yes, if I have to, I'll even kiss you back!")and she is determined to marry Trevor Graydon (John Gavin) her square-jawed, stuffed-shirt boss. ... Read More
