Don't listen to the negative reviews
Did you people see the same film I saw?
As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
This is the cheap mans phantom of the opera.Did Disney really think no one would notice? I mean seriously just change the word "megaplex" with the word opera! I really hate this movie. I really do. This movie has horrible acting, horrible plot development and just about everything else. Though it does have its few moments but those wont last long at all. This movie just suffers from being a ripoff i mean if you have seen phantom of the opera you would know what i am talking about. I have seen this movie once and hopefully i will never have to go threw the torture of watching it again! This movie could have been a nice little kiddy movie but it wasn't. STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS
One of my Favorites.The film is about Pete Riley (Handley) who works at a huge Megaplex, where things begin to go wrong. His siblings (Smith)(Wachs) are two movie lovers, like myself, who want to save the Megaplex. If that isn't enough, the place is about to have a huge premiere for the owners film. Crazy huh? Anyway, the acting is pretty decent, some fiction mixed in with Non-Fiction. It's got to be one of the best and most remembered Disney Film.Micky Rooney is in it! How much better can it get! One for the family, this film. It's entertainment on all levels.Disney better continue to play this film, because if they don't, I have no idea whats going on in their heads.
I woke up one day with a bad hangover, switched on the TV and this came on. It had fresh-faced teens, it had fresh-faced Mickey Rooney, it had giant inflatable monsters that somehow chase people around. All of that was fantastic, as was the amusing side story about some skanks, but I just found the whole story too complicated. I was lying in my bed eating a couple of sausage rolls, trying to frantically write down clues that could lead me to guess who the 'Phantom' was. I really thought it was the mum's new boyfriend. I guess it was all those references to the blue sofa that threw me off (which I was later told was something out of Greek mythology. The Mickey Rooney references apparently make more sense if you play them backwards).Overall, it's probably a great movie for boffins and computer wizard's, who can strut around, pipe in hand, theorising on the inverted characters and social themes that are carefully woven withing the fabric of the film, and gloating at how they managed to guess the identity of the 'Phantom', but the rest of us should steer clear. Just another of those 'too-deep-for-their own good' Mickey Rooney movies. I love the guy, but he should have given up after Coyote Ugly.
This is the funniest movie that I have ever seen! The acting is above top notch. Who needs Oscar winners, when you have David Johnston, and Mickey Rooney. How this movie disappeared off of the face of the earth, I have no idea. Good thing I filled twelve six-hour tapes with this movie, in case eleven are destroyed or something. I don't sleep! I just watch this movie. How can I bathe, eat, or re-enter society when I can watch this 24/7. I'm watching it right now. Granted, my skin is gray from lack of sunlight; and my leg muscles have atrophied, but I can't get enough of PoTM, as us Hollywood-savvy insiders call it. How can you not like this movie? "City Morgue" Priceless "What, do you want a medal?" Timeless I give this movie (Infinity^Infinity) Stars!
