Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

Donen is a musical legend, his classic Hollywood work includes some of the most notorious films in the genre. This is all good if you love musicals, but it's not my preferred genre. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is a particularly cheesy example, and even though it's shorter than most of its peers, it was at least twice too long for me.

It takes a little effort, but Adam convinces Milly to marry him. Not after a long and arduous dating ritual, but right away. Milly follows Adam home and discovers he has six more brothers that look exactly like him. The boys aren't accustomed to having a woman around, but Milly is hellbent on finding them fitting wives.

The decors look incredibly fake, the costumes are rather ridiculous and the song and dance scenes just aren't my thing. The only thing that keeps it from getting the lowest score is the endless positivity that oozes from every frame. It's a respected musical though, so Donen fans should do well to check it out.
