Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

jjavieraponteparsi I never saw this movie, didn't know it was a movie when I bought the album back in 1978. I loved the soundtrack album, I wish they would reissue it in CD. I have a Greatest Hits album that includes On the shelf, but I also liked the other songs, specially Falling In Love (it was great), the instrumental version of May Tomorrow Be a Perfect Day, and that cover they did that went like this "Baby, now that I found you I can't let you go, I built my world around you, I need you so, baby even though you don't need me..." One day I had that song playing and my older brother said "Wow, that's a very old song!". He remembered the original; for me it was new. Later I heard the original (I don't remember the title of the tune), but I still prefer Donny & Marie's version.I really enjoyed (and still do) their music and their TV show when I was a teenager. God bless them both!

Woodyanders I recently had the pleasure of viewing this spectacular movie milestone and I just gotta say, "WOW!!!" Music superstars Donny and Marie Osmond are brilliant, mesmerizing and totally convincing as themselves. Herb Edelman lends outstanding support with his astonishing portrayal of their whiny worrywart manager. Ted Cassidy (Lurch on "The Adams Family"), Harold Sakata (Oddjob in "Goldfinger"), Kenneth Mars, and veteran acne-scarred meanie Marc Lawrence are all magnificent as a bunch of no-good villains who want to get their grubby hands on Marie's necklace. Gorgeous blonde hottie supreme Crystin Sinclaire (Mel Ferror's daughter in "Eaten Alive") offers delectable eye candy as a lovely young lass who catches Donny's lascivious eye. The masterful direction by Howard Morris deftly creates a considerable amount of joy, tension and excitement; the taut narrative never meanders or makes a single false step and the lightning fast pace ensures that the picture practically explodes across the screen throughout. The fiercely intelligent and incisive script by William Mark Daniels and Raymond Harvey offers plentiful profound and provocative insights on such crucial components of the human condition as greed, lust and the need for fun and leisure. The eloquent dialogue is remarkable ("That Charlie; if he wasn't dead already I'd kill him"). The exquisite cinematography by Frank Phillips contains some of the most beautiful imagery ever captured on film; the island of Hawaii is sharply depicted in all its sweetly lush tropical serenity. Best of all, the bouncy, happy score by Nelson Riddle and the delightfully dynamic song-and-dance numbers by Donny and Marie both take you straight to groovy 70's boogie wonderland. A cinematic landmark of monumental cultural importance.

mandz_jane OK so I might be a tad biased in saying that I really liked this film as I am a huge Osmond fan!! But it was really funny. I enjoyed seeing Donny and Marie interact they have such amazing chemistry working as a brother and sister team. Being only 19 a lot of people think it is odd that someone my age likes The Osmonds, but The Osmonds are so incredibly talented and I really admire them, they are awesome!! Donny and Marie have amazing voices, if only all the famous singers these days could sing half as good as The Osmonds. I loved every song they sang in the movie. If anyone happens to read this checkout Donny's cd called "What I Mean't To Say", it just shows what a wonderful singer he truly is.

carakay Alright...so it's a 70's nightmare by some standards, but it's Donnie and Marie! You gotta love it lookin' at it from a 21st century standpoint. This is the goofy stuff Austin Powers was built on! And to think that they got away with this brand of humor on G-rated material! Also take note of the very clever and difficult task of using 5 bumbling villains instead of the standard one or two. Again, Austin Powers owes a lot to the precedents set by a flick like this and I for one am fallin' in love again!
