The Little Mermaid—rehash of the original film—misses the magic of the original movie. It ends as a suitable to okay watch and can get a bit boring throughout the story presentation.

Buy a
ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Maybe. It is interesting to see this interpretation of an old tale, but it does not compare well with the quality of the original animated mermaid story in any area.
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers—great music—has a realistic and believable story that more than lends itself to watching and adding to the home video library. Howard Keel, Jane Powell, and Russ Tamblyn are great actors for this film. This film is fresh, creative, and rich...do Not miss this movie, This is what we go to movies to see.

ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes. This
is a wonderful film with original, powerful, and good music and tells a timeless, thoughtfully written story. No surprise scenes here...tastefully written to describe male/female interaction. The acting is great and the pacing very well done.
