Movie Reviews of Bye Bye Birdie
Movie Review: A hilarious time-capsule musical
Summary: 4 Stars
At the time Elvis was drafted the teen-aged world went into a panic. How could the US draft their hero? This movie is based on a stage play that was written to make fun of the uproar and furor of Elvis caused by going into the Army. Starring Dick Van Dyke (who also starred in the play) Janet Leigh (mis-cast since she doesn't sing all that well), Ann-Margaret, Paul Lynde and a lot of other greats, the movie is funny, tuneful and very enjoyable. Packed with songs like "Put On A Happy Face" and "Kids" it will keep you humming for days. Enjoy.
Summary of Bye Bye Birdie
A rock star bids farewell to his fans before entering the army. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 04/22/2008 Starring: Janet Leigh Dick Van Dyke Run time: 112 minutes Rating: GWhen Elvis-like rock & roll star Conrad Birdie is drafted into the military, the teen nation is united by a contest in which the winner bestows a farewell kiss upon their idol while on the Ed Sullivan Show. Ann-Margret (in her film debut) is the lucky little lady from Sweet Apple, Ohio, who wins the contest, much to the chagrin of her steady beau (Bobby Rydell) and miserable parents (Paul Lynde and Mary LaRoche). Dick Van Dyke and Janet Leigh are an older couple kept from marrying by his meddlesome mother, played to the hilt by Maureen Stapleton. Lightweight but fun, this features an exuberant soundtrack with such memorable ditties as "Put on a Happy Face" and "Kids" and the title track. This is a much better choice than the lackluster, 1995 made-for-TV version. --Rochelle O'Gorman
