Movie Reviews of Calamity Jane

Movie Review: Great songs, fun plot
Summary: 4 Stars

A must have for anyone who likes musicals. Doris Day makes a great Calam, both before and after her makeover, and Howard Keel is his usual, slightly misogenistic but charming self. Lots of great songs, good dancing, and some very funny scenes.

Movie Review: Calamity Jane is whip-crackin' fun!
Summary: 5 Stars

Calamity Jane is the story of a tomboy in the Dakota territory during the 19th century. She can ride and shoot better than any man, except Wild Bill Hickock. In fact, she's often confused for a man due to the fact that she's always wearing buckskins and a dirty army hat. Calamity is spunky and full of energy; the only problem is that she can't get Danny, the Lieutenant of her dreams, to realize that she's in love with him and return the feeling. Then one day, Katie Brown comes to town. She and Calamity hit it off right away until Katie and Danny begin to fall in love. Sparks and bullets fly when Calamity finds out, and Katie must choose between her friend and her love.

Calamity Jane is such a fun musical and Doris Day does an amazing job of playing the gun-slinging, whip-cracking, tall-telling tomboy. Most of the songs are upbeat with great lyrics. My little boy and I love "I can do without you", and we sing it to each other all of the time. My husband will even watch this musical with me because it's not too girlie. The only problem with it is that it does have some racism. The way they speak about Native Americans was a little shocking to me when I first saw this movie as an adult. I had to sit down and have a talk with my little boy and explain things to him and tell him that we never talk that way about Native Americans and explain to him the history of the "wild west". That being said, the main story surrounds Calamity Jane and Katie Brown and their love lives, and it is a lot of fun to see how things develop. As a plus, Howard Keel is great as Wild Bill, and he is very handsome in this movie. Overall, Calamity Jane is fun for the whole family, and I really enjoy it.

Movie Review: Terrific
Summary: 5 Stars

Love this movie with great songs and actors. Always a feel good movie any time.

Movie Review: A typical Doris Day vehicle
Summary: 4 Stars

Doris Day was very good as a singer, dancer heroine. I loved Howard Keel as the baritone Wild Bill Hickok. Supporting cast was also great, but overall just pleasant and fun not great. Definitely a whole family movie.
