Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Julie Andrews is at her peak of adorability in this enjoyable (and surprisingly sarcastic) spoof of the 1920s. It has every trick: occasional silent-movie intertitles, flapper lingo ('Oh, banana oil'), and a laughable plot about women being sold into white slavery by the scheming manageress (splendid Beatrice Lillie) of a Hotel for Ladies, aided by a cabal of wicked Chinese. (The stereotypes are bearable only if you remember this is a spoof of silent movie melodrama.) Even with able support from Mary Tyler Moore and James Fox, this is Julie's show; she plays to the camera with the collusion of director George Roy Hill, who's clearly smitten with her silly streak. The movie has an annoying tendency to spend time on musical numbers--a Jewish wedding, a vaudeville act--that don't serve the plot. A future Broadway musical would create a new score, except for the delightfully catchy title tune. --Robert Horton

Rating:  - Thoroughly Leaden Millie
Imagine ordering the most succulent. lightest. frothiest souffle imaginable, only to be served something made out of marble. I don't know how it happened: Julie Andrews tries her best to inflate this lead balloon of a movie with her wonderful voice and her native wit, but at the point where Bea Lillie intones that "they all must die" trust me, you'll be rooting for her and her dart gun.
Rating:  - Wonderful!
I haven't enjoyed a movie more in a long time than watching "Thoroughly Modern Millie." Julie Andrews was just wonderful in this film as well as Mary Tyler Moore with the added bonus of Carol Channing playing Muzzy. I was browsing on amazon for any Julie Andrews movies and this gem came up. I had never seen or heard of this film, and after watching it was not dissapointed!

Rating: - "So beat the drums 'cause here comes thoroughly modern Millie now!"
This is one of the most incredibly light hearted, and beloved musicals from the golden era of movie magic. Starring an unrivaled cast of Carol Channing, Mary Tyler Moore, and Julie Andrews as the title character Millie. The movie begins with an unexpected crime, then moves to the thoroughly traditional Millie walking the streets of 1922's New York, and updating her look to the tune of the toe tapping introductory song "Thoroughly Modern Millie". The movie keeps the pace with catchy iconic songs, ... Read More
Rating:  - THOROUGHLY DELIGHTFUL FUN... IF A BIT TOO LONG
"THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE" is one of the funniest films I've ever seen-- right up there with the screwball classic "BRINGING UP BABY" (1938) and the Best of the early Shorts from THE THREE STOOGES (1934-1936) in terms of pure, silly. film farce.
I find it hard to believe that this wild and wacky spoof of the 1920's is cause for a small debate. Yes, the depiction of the Oriental characters is terribly stereotypical; but, remember, this is a farce, and NOTHING in it should be taken ... Read More
Rating: - Thoroughly Modern Millie
This is a wonderful movie with Julie Andrews at her best. Light, fun and really entertaining - like all her movies you can watch it over and over again!
