5.0 out of 5 stars
The 2008 remastered version is a big improvement,
By Middle America Electronica Fan (Fairway, KS United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Gang's All Here (DVD)
For fans of this movie: yes, the newly remastered edition is much better than the 2007 release. Colors are back to their original super-saturated intensity. If you love this movie, and have the lackluster 2007 version, buy it again, and use the old copy as your "lend it to a friend" copy (which you'll most likely never see again, since everyone I've ever shown this movie to loves it immediately). It's worth the extra $15 or so to have it right this time. Get it.

Took over 20 years to get this onto video!,

This review is from: The Gang's All Here (DVD)
AT LAST.
Fox never released this surreal film on VHS (why!?), and so it became one of those Holy Grail films that movie buffs have been waiting for (it was released on laserdisc ages ago, though I know of no one who actually owns it). It's great that we are finally getting the DVD. Was lucky to see this in a theater in NYC 2 years ago, where the crowd loved every minute of it--especially the antics of Carmen Miranda. It does have the dumbest script of any musical I can think of, which is really saying something--especially when you consider other Fox wartime musicals. On the big screen it LOOKS amazing: the color, the art direction, the costumes, the choreography, the neon hoops, the bananas. (UPDATE: Just watched the DVD--and sadly the color is not replicated very well...the print I saw was much, much richer than this. Oh well.) How can you not love a movie where the whole cast is washed away by a fountain of purple water at the fade out? I'm not kidding. Thank you Fox, Thank you.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Way over the top,
By The first time I saw this movie I laughed so hard I nearly made myself sick. This film starts off with an over the top production number "Brazil/You Discover Your In New York" which makes you think that nothing in the film can ever get more campy. Alice Faye comes in with a couple of great numbers- "A Journey to a Star" and "No Love, No Nothin'." But fasten your seat belts because Carmen Miranda and Busby Berkley are about to bring you "The Lady In the Tutti-Fuity Hat." This is easily one of the most over the top musical numbers ever put on film. The number is supposed to be on nightclub stage that must the size of a small town. Bananas are everywhere including chorus girls dancing with giant bananas!! At the end of the number a close-up of Carmen keeps pulling back to reveal Carmen's hat with an endless stream of bananas flowing out and Carmen surrounded by giant strawberries! Edward Everret Horton and Charlotte Greenwood are on hand to add to insanity. Then to top it off Alice ends the film with "The Polka-Dot Polka" which brings to mind Busby's "Shadow Waltz." In "Shadow Waltz" he used neon violins in this number he uses what look to be neon hoolahoops! On any level the film is a prime example of a director who just doesn't no where to stop. This isn't a classic Hollywood musical but it is top notch Hollywood Camp!
