DVD Reviews of Madeline

DVD Review: a great film after about fifteen minutes
Summary: 4 Stars

I'm not a seven year old girl, so it's fair to say I'm probably not the target audience- but the wife is an elementary school librarian, so occasionally I find myself watching a movie I don't believe I'd pick out for myself.

That said, I enjoyed this movie. The first fifteen minutes were a bit hard to watch- this is a live action movie that needs to connect with illustrated classic it was made from - so we get the classic lines from the classic books, which verges on chringe-worthy when Madeline says Pooh-Pooh to the tiger in the zoo.

Once the homage to the book is made, the movie does much better. Frances McDormand makes a wonderful Miss Clavel, Pepito is spot on, and Madeline is quite good.

The hijinks and high spirited goofs are good, and the adventure that caps the movie is, on the main, believable.

Worth watching-

DVD Review: Wonderful movie for girls and boys
Summary: 4 Stars

My three children simply love this movie. It is one of the first non-animated movies that they will watch the entire way through.

DVD Review: Great Fun
Summary: 5 Stars

My Grandaughter thought this was wonderful. We watched six times. She liked the fact that it was a real little girl and would like more Madelines just like this one

DVD Review: A kids review.
Summary: 5 Stars

I love Hatty Jones in this one. She is good and her best friend. I wish there was madeline two. I have a lot of madeline dvds and videos.

DVD Review: Madeline
Summary: 5 Stars

Great movie. My daughter loves it! Just as if Madeline had come to life! Frances McDormand is fabulous as Miss Clavel!

Description of Madeline

Adventures of Madeline, a Parisian schoolgirl with a mind of her own.
Genre: Feature Film Family
Rating: PG
Release Date: 1-FEB-2005
Media Type: DVD

The schoolgirl adventures of Madeline, a flame-haired orphan, are lovingly adapted from Ludwig Bemelmans's classic children's books. His sly and witty writing is transferred to this first-rate film, one that should not be thought of merely as childhood entertainment. Spunky Madeline is most adept at finding trouble. She is also a quick-witted and likable child who can solve almost any problem. Her latest scheme is to keep her school, which is also her home, from being sold by its owner, the recently widowed Lord Covington (Nigel Hawthorne). Unlike most youthful movie fare, this adventure boasts high production values that wisely include colorful Parisian locations. Hatty Jones is all spunky self-sufficiency and sweet innocence in the title role, and Frances McDormand is quite humorous as the stern school-mistress, Miss Clavel. --Rochelle O'Gorman
