Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

morrison-dylan-fan Taking a look at the UK Netflix,I discovered a Disney /Fred MacMurray film that I've not heard about before.With there only being a few hours to go before the movie was to be removed from the site,I decided that it was the perfect time to say bon voyage!The plot:After delays from family and work,Harry & Katie Willard decide to go on their long-planned honeymoon to Paris,and to take their children Elliott/Amy and Skipper with them.Deciding to go via cruise ship to France,Katie and Harry soon find their dream honeymoon to take a wrong turn,as the "difference of opinion" that they have with their children start to appear upon the horizon.View on the film:For the adaptation of Marrijane Hayes & Joseph Hayes book,writer Bill Walsh attempts to give the title a light and breezy atmosphere.As Walsh starts building up the care-free moon,the 130 minute running time (!) blocks the lightness from the movie like a giant wall,as Katie & Harry's troubles with their children go round in repetitive circles which become increasingly worn down.Whilst the stretched Flubber running time keeps the movie grounded,Walsh does off a number of sweet funny set-pieces,which goes from the Willard's taking a tour of the Paris sewers ,to Harry getting in a fight with Rudolph the Red Nosed Hungarian. Filmed on location in France, director James Neilson displays the Paris location in elegant wide shots and casts the film in light blues and yellows which match the honeymoon romance that the couple are trying to create.Taking on roles that James Cagney and Greer Garson had turned down, the tension that Jane Wyman & Fred MacMurray had with co-star Tommy Kirk being gay steams across the screen,as Katie and Harry appear very keen to say Bon voyage to their little darlings.

Ross Care BON VOYAGE (1962) is a curious, mildly entertaining live-action Disney artifact about a typical American family's long awaited trip to France, and an odd attempt at semi-sophisticated comedy from a studio not exactly known for the genre.In the mom-and-pop leads are the Disney period Fred MacMurray, a long way from DOUBLE INDEMNITY, and the ex-Mrs. Reagan, Jane Wyman, whose dignity manages to hold up better than Fred's. As the two sons we have Disney protégés Kevin "Moochie" Corcoran in a relatively tolerable appearance, and Disney maverick, Tommy Kirk, in a buzz cut that does nothing for him.For the young love interest daughter Deborah Walley and cynical playboy Michael Callen (Riff in the original stage cast of WEST SIDE STORY) are re-teamed after 1961's GIDGET GOES HAWAIIAN. As Callen's expatriate mother Jessie Royce Landis does her best to bring a touch of giddy sophistication to her Paris soirée sequence.Around this time they used to say Disney got their live-action performers on the way up (Julie Andrews) or the way down (most of the cast here). It's also somewhat difficult to gage the target audience - adults, teens, family? - because there's not much here to hold a child's interest.Certainly interesting is the authentic (if brief) footage of vintage ocean liners and their NYC piers (including a comically confused boarding and departure sequence), and location shots of an early '60s Paris.Most curious sequence: MacMurray meeting what is subtly coded as a Paris street walker, played by the authentically French and rather grave Françoise Prévost, who seems to have inexplicably wandered in from a Godard film. Later she also picks up Kirk, an encounter dad is quick to defuse.So it's no spoiler to mention that American Family Values triumph at the end in spite of a climactic trip to the decadent French Riviera. On the plus side the film presents a generally positive, even admiring view of French life and culture.And Bunuel and Dali would surely love the extended sequence in which Fred MacMurray's wiggling finger protrudes from a street level Paris sewer lid.

moonspinner55 Excruciatingly long and tedious comedy-drama from Walt Disney concerning "typical" Midwestern family on vacation in Europe. There's the worrisome father (Fred MacMurray, acting befuddled, like Jimmy Stewart); the giddy mom (Jane Wyman, dignified but dulled-out); the cold-fish daughter; the too-cool teenage son (in ascots!); and the mischievous little brother (named Skipper!). Directed by Disney mainstay James Neilson, whose pacing was always a little slow, the film is not only out-of-touch, but hammy and unfunny. It would make a torturous double-bill alongside another Disney teens-and-their-parents tale, "Superdad". * from ****

Itsamoomoo This turned out to be a good movie. Fred MacMurray and Jane Wyman finally take the European trip they've always dreamed of, including taking their three children along. Tommy Kirk and Doborah Walley are their teen-aged children and bring along their romantic escapades. On location shooting make for a better than average Disney film. Saw this on the Disney channel.
