TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

TownRootGuy I had a crush on Liza as a kid, which is when I had last seen it. I re-watched it recently to see if I still did and, as it turns out, I kinda do but the show is just weird.It has some decent tunes and some eye candy but, seriously, it's just weird. I recommend The Birdcage over Cabaret unless there's a specific reason you're considering this.I think I'll pass on seeing this again.

Benedito Dias Rodrigues Typical Bob Fosse musical settled in Berlin where have a decadent night club where the everything begin or ending,Liza Minnelli play Sally a daughter of an American diplomat who works in this club,sally think big she wants to be a star,when she re-rent his room to an English teacher Brian played by Michael York,living together starting a romance,but when Sally was involved by a rich man from the German aristocracy they were in a love triangle that spoiled the weak relationship between Sally and Brian Soon she stay pregnancy but the main problem is to known who is the real father...the interesting point of this movie is that whatever happens in real life is cover on stage at night club...very amusement!!!

DKosty123 Liza Minnelli had done very few films prior to this one, but lots of television. She was definitely ready for prime time and more in this one as she is amazing in this one all the way through. Between this one and New York, New York which came later this one is no doubt Liza at the top of her game. Her Sally Bowles character is the most recreated on live stage of any role. The major surprise in this one is Joel Grey. He made his role as the Master of Ceremonies his own and he is at the top of his career here. He also had much television work before this movie and a couple of minor film roles. He is so big here that at times he dominates this film.Of the 4 writers involved only Joe Masteroff is still alive. One of the writers, John Van Druten, never saw this result of his writing a he died in 1957. All the writers should be proud of their results here on film. Director Bob Fosse's fine work with this one is very evident and he would go on to do the hit musical Chicago many years later. This is a classic now and destined to grow a more classic for the years to come.

SnoopyStyle It's pre-war Berlin. The country is in a depression struggling between Communists and Nazis. Sally Bowles (Liza Minnelli) is a flamboyant bohemian American singer performing at the Kit Kat Klub with MC (Joel Grey). British academic Brian Roberts (Michael York) from Cambridge moves in to finish his doctorate. She falls for him despite him being adverse to women. He teaches English to earn money and one of his students is a rich Jewish heiress Natalia Landauer. She is uncertain about the advances of Fritz Wendel. Sally and Brian are befriended by rich playboy Maximilian von Heune who seems to be interested in both.Liza Minnelli is brilliant. Joel Grey is magnificent. Michael York is put in a tougher spot as a bi-sexual. I buy him more as a homosexual and I like his friendship with Sally more than his romance with her. The biggest deficiency is Helmut Griem as Max. The role needs to be a matinée idol and played by a superstar. It's minor but very important to see both Sally and Brian tripping over themselves for the guy. He needs to be magnetic. The Bob Fosse songs are incredible. The inter-cut scene between the stage and the beating by the Nazi thugs is truly compelling. The pacing does go flat at times and it probably could be trimmed a little. Overall this is a great musical and social drama.
