Review – That’s Entertainment

With precious few exceptions, my general feeling about musicals (especially “classic” musicals from MGM’s heyday) is that the big, gaudy production numbers are kinda fun to watch but seldom justify the bad scripts, dreadful acting and less-effective songs. So this compilation was tailor-made for folks like me who want the spectacle but don’t want to sit through the rest of it. Even so, the collection features a couple of slow spots and a big chunk of narration by the stars (much of which isn’t all that interesting). Overall, however, this is an entertaining bit of fluff for a slow evening. Mildly amusing
