Movie Reviews of Bye Bye Birdie
Movie Review: Not worth seeing
Summary: 3 Stars
The Bottom Line:
I hear the stage musical is much better, so I'll refrain from passing judgement on Michael Stewart's popular play and instead merely say that Bye Bye Birdie the film has very little to recommend it: disliked by its own cast (and rightly so) its songs range from shrill and annoying at worst to forgettably pleasant at best and none of the characters emerge as likable or three dimensional human beings.
2.5/4
Summary of Bye Bye Birdie
Rock star/teenage heartthrob Conrad Birdie gets drafted so his manager organizes a nationwide contest in which one lucky girl will win a goodbye kiss from Birdie.Genre: Musicals
Rating: G
Release Date: 13-JUL-1999
Media Type: DVD
When 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
