Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

I've been looking forward to seeing this film. (Yes, I'm guilty as charged: I've never seen it until now!) I was late watching Mary Poppins as well, and yet when I saw it, I watched it three times within the same two weeks. I feel like this one's gonna be the same! I absolutely adore it. This film couldn't possibly have failed... Roald Dahl is one of the script writers, Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman are the songwriters, and it stars Dick Van Dyke. A winning combination if ever I saw one! And it lives up to all my expectations. It's a feel good, family-friendly, fun-filled, wonderful, funny and charming work of art. Don't listen to Lee Brown. I don't know what he was on when he watched it. For me, it's an absolute masterpiece. There's not many films that will keep me entertained for more than 90 minutes. But at a whopping 2 hours and 25 minutes, I can honestly say, I wasn't bored for a second. Go ahead and watch it, and thank me later. Warning: You WILL be singing the title's song all night long!

“Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang we love you.” Ian Fleming’s Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is brought to the big screen as a lighthearted and fun family musical. Co-written by Roald Dahl, the story follows an inventor who rebuilds a broken down Grand Prix race car and ends up putting a little magic into it along the way. The performances are especially good; particularly Dick Van Dyke and Sally Ann Howes, who both have tremendous screen presence. Additionally, the dance choreography is remarkably good and full of energy. The songs too are incredibly lively, with a lyrical quality that makes them quite catchy. Marvelously entertaining, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a heartwarming film that can be enjoyed by all ages.
