THE MUSIC MAN (Released to DVD 2003)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.1|5.0 Starsìììì 

The Music Man—television remake—bases its story on the 1962 theatrical motion picture which originally appeared as a Broadway play in the late 1950s. The Wonderful World of Disney released this Matthew Broderick film in Season 47 Episode 11 and then it was taken as a stand alone movie. This Matthew Broderick film is a musical and a good one at that. This is filmed like a television release, almost like a sitcom in some places. Watch for a very good performance by Matthew Broderick and the rest of the cast.

GOOD BOY! (Released to Video USA 2004)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì

Good Boy! —okay film— the portrayal is weak and the presentation is okay. The story needs a rewrite, to make up for some inconsistencies. And the acting is okay/suitable. It is good to see Kevin Nealon.

Maybe. It might work for children but adults will find the film lower in quality.
