Reviews
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
philipadams_ "What is wrong with people? A kid show has to still be smart and funny and not patronizing. The Wiggles is anything but that. It stars these four bizarre fellas who live in Pee Wee's summer home with some oddly low-budget puppets and dance a lot. The acting abilities of these four Brits is questionable, since they overdo all of their lines like kids won't be able to understand them otherwise... We also get some really dopey concert scenes where the 'Wiggles' sing a very repetitive song while shaking their tails..."A kids show doesn't have to entertain adults. Patronising? It's a show for children, and they seem to enjoy it immensely. The Wiggles themselves have absolutely no pretensions at all. Oddly low budget sets and puppets? Last year they made $34 million and they always invest most of it back into the franchise. He claims that these "Brits" overdo all there dialogue so the kids can't even understand it. First off they are not Brits. Second, all kid entertainers overdo everything- children don't react well with subtlety. And third, if they overdo it so much the kids can't understand it, then how can they sing along to every last one of their songs in concerts and on TV? Criticising a kids show for being repetitive? You are obviously unaware of the fact that kids need repetition to learn- why do you think all kids shows have such a strict pattern and are repeated so much? Uh huh.And that's the end of that chapter.
BaileyK-1 Sure if you're an adult watching this show you might think it's a little lame but it's not your opinion that counts-it's the children's. I was introduced by my three year old cousin to this show and she loves it. The bright colors, simple songs, and movements really stimulate the minds of young children. It's a really simple way to keep your child thinking. By getting your children to dance along, you're giving them a chance for exercise, which is important to start young. Children should definitely watch it, especially in an age where you're not sure what's safe or not. This is definitely a family show. This show is also good because it introduces children to the concept of foreign accents in an harmless way.
jershermom The Wiggly Movie has taken a bit of a departure from their smaller sets to a larger "town", and for children, I think the plot is good. The action is entertaining, and the music, as always is Wiggly-rific. My 2 and 4 year olds adore these guys, and I think they have a future as Wiggly dancers, already having the dance moves down pat. For any show to keep their attention and loyalty for as long as this has, I say kudos. The sets are very colorful. The costumes are adorable. The script calls for not only immediate audience interaction, but interaction by kids watching on their TV's. It includes them in the action. I think part of the appeal is this factor, not only in the movie, but in the Wiggles videos in general. Wally, in the movie, is a lovable bumbler who finds friendship, hope, and success through perseverance. An important lesson for all.
emilyswope I wanted to write in because I just read a scathing report on this movie and couldn't disagree more. Both my nine month old and 3 1/2 year old love The Wiggles. Instead of just sitting and watching, The Wiggles involves the children. Their videos are aerobic workouts! It is meant for kids, not adults to be entertained, and it works!
