Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Remember that scene in Jerry Maguire where the title character suddenly realises the foolhardiness of his impulsively written manifesto? That's how director Alan Parker (The Commitments, Fame) ought to feel every day of his life since making this dopey, 1976 musical featuring an all-kid cast playing Prohibition-era gangsters and molls. What was Parker thinking? The cuteness of the concept never did hold up for more than 10 minutes, but the film extends it impossibly into a feature. Jodie Foster is on hand, lip-synching a Paul Williams song (Williams wrote the score), but even she can't detract from the film's overall silliness. It's a toss-up as to whether children will enjoy watching it, since the characters and the milieu are based on adult situations. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

this never dates 13 Mar 2009
Format:DVD
My daughter's school recently put on a production of this story, and we decided to buy it as I had not seen it for years. I was pleased to know that you didn't have to have the subtitles on as that would have been annoying for the whole film. We thoroughly enjoyed it and then re-watched the songs with the words and sang along. I felt the film was as fresh as when it was released all those years ago and my daughter loved it watching it for the first time. A great family film, that has stood the test of time.

Great 18 Mar 2006
Format:DVD
I recently bought the DVD and I have to say it is one of the most cleverly written musicals ever. I was recently in a stage production of the show, and on the last night of the show, all cast members sat down to watch the original version. The acting was miles better than ours! I would definitely recommend this film, particularly young children. Young boys will enjoy all the different gangsters such as Fat Sam and Dandy Dan, while young girls will love the character of Tallulah the show-girl. 10 out of 10.

By R. Cook

Not so much a review (it's an excellent film - 'nuff said) but more a comeback to the laughable review by Amazon.

"Unfortunately for a musical, Paul Williams' score--part honky-tonk jazz homage, part 1970s Elton John-style pop--lets the side down with a lack of memorable tunes."

What? No memorable tunes? Bugsy Malone has one of the most famous movie soundtracks of all time.

The Amazon reviewer who introduced this item should hang his head in shame and seriously reconsider whether he is actually capable in his job.

An enjoyable uplifting film
I am not entirely sure of the benefit of me being asked by Amazon to review a film that's at least 30 years' old. Read more

Still as good as I remembered when I watched it when younger. My two children loved it and loved the fact we could sing a long! Marvellous!
