You are about to take an incredible ride with one of the most wonderful family films of all time! Now celebrating its 30th Anniversary Chitty Chitty Bang Bang has never looked or sounded better. With its clever tunes (including the Oscar-nominated title song) marvelous cast and enchanting story line this delightful family film is lot of fun and simply "toot sweet" to pass up! Dick Van Dyke stars as eccentric inventor Caractacus Potts who creates an extraordinary car called Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. It not only drives--but also flies and floats--as it leads him his two children and his beautiful lady friend Truly Scrumptious (Howes) into a magical world of pirates castles and endless adventure. Starring: Dick Van Dyke Sally Ann Hawes Lionel Jeffries Gert Forbe and Benny HillDirector: Ken HughesProduced by Albert R. Broccoli; written by R. Dahl K. Hughes; Running time of 145 minutes; Closed Captioned.

It retains a quaint charm while some of the songs--including the title tune--are quite hummable. A huge plus is Dick Van Dyke, who is extremely appealing as an eccentric inventor around the turn of the century. With nimble fingers and a unique way of looking at the world, he invents for his children a magic car that floats and flies. Or does he? The special effects are tame by today's standards, and the film is about 20 minutes too long--but its enthusiasm charms. The script was cowritten by Roald Dahl and based on the novel by Ian Fleming, best known for his James Bond adventures. --Rochelle O'Gorman Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Clunky Clunky Boom BoomUnlike many one starred reviews, it was not the picture quality that I hated. IT WAS THE MOVIE ITSELF! Points being. 1. The romance between Truly and Caractus *whatever his name is* has no chemistry to it, it feels forced, and no offense but he *Carac- Dick Van Dyke* had about as much sex appeal as that "Ernest goes to where ever guy* 2. Plot holes: We never know quite why the Baroness hates children or why her husband is always trying to kill her 3. The Grandfather disappears from ...

If you like widescreen they buy widescreen. Why are they buying something that they know will disappoint them and then give a one star review. This only hurts the movie that they claim they all love!! Rating: - A classicWho cannot add classics to their movie collections? We grew up watching this movie every year. The Child Catcher is pretty scary, almost as scary as the Witch on the Wizard of Oz! And yes, I have that movie too! Rating: - Chitty Chitty Bang BangGreat to purchase this nostalgic film on DVD. Excellent reproduction of an all-time great family film. Rating: - DVD full of skipsI was extremely disappointed with this Chitty Chitty Bang Bang DVD. There are many skips, although it was advertised as new. And the skips are most prevalent on the songs which are the best part of the movie. |
