My wife is going to take the granddaughters to see this movie this weekend. I already told her I’ll sit this one out.
I guess he didn’t like it.
The mere fact that at age 93 Dick Van Dyke can still pull off a dance number makes this film amazing.
The original Poppins wasn’t exactly a paean to conservatism.
Lots of deleterious “heart not head” messaging.
They've got nothing new, just remakes . . .
Thank you for this, I won’t go to see it.
I’ve sent an email to the Free Republic ADministrator requesting that they provide a separate topic for “Theater Reviews” I think it might help it others do too.
LOL. I bet that is exactly why Disney made him a lamp-lighter. Any smudge of soot would have set off a "RACISM!!!!!!" firestorm among the woke crowd that Disney answers to.
It’s Disney.
They have gone over to the Dark Side..........................
“The mere fact that at age 93 Dick Van Dyke can still pull off a dance number makes this film amazing.”
It’s the only reason I’ll try to watch it — free.
Though I’ll probably be able to catch that part on youtube before long.
When Gene Wilder was asked what he thought about the remake of Charlie and the Chocalate factory starring johnny Depp IIRC he said “why?”
I was almost inclined to say this is the same thing only I suspect this one has a left leaning lib agenda.
A spoonful of political correctness makes the social justice go down.
This is profoundly delusional claptrap, who needed to get some text in National Review for a paycheck.
The film is art, and it worships the first film. It’s about magic. It’s not about politics AT ALL. If you see it is about politics then you are no different from a wacko who saw plane flying overhead and decided it meant Trump was evil and you must have a safe space. That’s what this reviewer is, a wacko, but of a different flavor. No less wacko.
It’s based closely on the books. There is no agenda when you are close to a book. You are interpreting text into visuals. The guy in the film missed some bank payments and some evil guy at the bank wanted to foreclose, but in in this wacko reviewer’s world, the finding of ever-so-very capitalism focused stock shares hidden in a kite was to be the mechanism for paying off the mortgage entirely. But they missed a portion of the shares (it had been torn into pieces) and so an old banker comes in and announces money deposited 20 yrs prior had grown and will more than pay for the house.
Yes, all socialism — “to the careful viewer” errr “to the careful wacko”.
It’s good Trump showed up and demonstrated that “conservatism” is often just efforts to secure entrenchment. This reviewer is card carrying GOPe and is safely ignored.
Well said and written. I saw the movie and concur with your comments about it and the NR movie reviewer. Thank you.
Movies have sucked for years.
Have you seen the endless bumper adds for this movie about Chenney and Bush called Vice.
Indoctrination continues
How can Conservatives defend against? I work in progressive company.
Only a socialist would cover up this conspiracy.
“Movies have sucked for years.”
What movies have you seen in the last few years?

My reaction to the remake of “Dumbo” was the same as Mr. Wilder’s... Why?
The classic is a classic for a reason.
