Sporadically a very pleasant and effective entertainment for children of all ages, with plenty of brightness and charm including magic tricks, the mixing of live with cartoon adventures, and just plain fun. It suffers, however, from a wandering narrative in the second half (when Miss Poppins scarcely appears) and from Mr Van Dyke's really lamentable attempt at Cockney.

Rather long but it doesn't feel it thanks to some fun music and an endearing disposition. It's fluff and never hides it but done well enough that you can't help but enjoy it. The adults, especially Julie Andrews. do a wonderful job but those two kids are annoying and unsympathetic.

YES

Great writing, great music, great acting!

One of the best movies ever made. And not just amongst the kids movies. Julie Andrews is so great, as well as Dyck van Dyke. The special effects are gorgeous, the soundtrack also. Must-see.

P.L. Travers is said to have cried at the premiere. Poor Baby -- she cried all the way to the bank, and did she seriously ever believe that this was going to be anything other than WALT DISNEY's Mary Poppins? Most likely it was the lovely, chaste Romance Element that Travers hated; possibly also that part of the plot in which the father is completely unraveled and remade (beautifully played by Tomlinson). Many people love to hate this movie for good reasons and bad -- I love to love it.

an all-time classic.

Pretty dated for the 60's as this was sort of a callback to the golden age of Hollywood. Not bad however and I remember liking it as a kid. Very colorful and full of harmless musical numbers. Might be too dated for kids these days though.

Here's some cough syrup and liquor. NOW watch this movie.

No, everyone in the world does not enjoy this film. I've always hated musicals, and this is not much of an exception, especially since it's about as gaudy and sickeningly sugar-sweet as they get. The fake trailer floating around out there is pretty great, though...
