Interesteg What makes it different from others?

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

vampyerslayer73 I remember this movie from when I was only 5 years old. I went to it in California and got to met Donnie and Marrie. I have seen it only 2 times and wish I could find it again. I am glad I found info here. Everyone should see this cute, funny, family movie. This movie is a timeless classic. I hope my son will get to see it himself. Donnie and Marrie did a great Job and OH so cute. I cant believe that not many people have even heard about this movie. I have been looking online forever for a copy of it. If you have not seen this movie you must watch it if you can find a copy. I think Donnei and Marrie should have done more movies besides this one. They always will remain great and such wonderful performers.

mandz_jane OK so I might be a tad biased in saying that I really liked this film as I am a huge Osmond fan!! But it was really funny. I enjoyed seeing Donny and Marie interact they have such amazing chemistry working as a brother and sister team. Being only 19 a lot of people think it is odd that someone my age likes The Osmonds, but The Osmonds are so incredibly talented and I really admire them, they are awesome!! Donny and Marie have amazing voices, if only all the famous singers these days could sing half as good as The Osmonds. I loved every song they sang in the movie. If anyone happens to read this checkout Donny's cd called "What I Mean't To Say", it just shows what a wonderful singer he truly is.

carakay Alright...so it's a 70's nightmare by some standards, but it's Donnie and Marie! You gotta love it lookin' at it from a 21st century standpoint. This is the goofy stuff Austin Powers was built on! And to think that they got away with this brand of humor on G-rated material! Also take note of the very clever and difficult task of using 5 bumbling villains instead of the standard one or two. Again, Austin Powers owes a lot to the precedents set by a flick like this and I for one am fallin' in love again!

moonspinner55 No one ever talks about this movie, least of all the Osmonds! In the recent E! True Hollywood Story on Marie and the VH1 Behind The Music bio of the Osmond family, "Goin' Coconuts" is mysteriously missing from the Osmond's resume. Is it that bad? Actually, no. It's a blandly cute semi-musical with Donny and Marie in Hawaii where Marie's necklace attracts the attention of clumsy villains. It's repetitive, extremely mild, unpolished, but for fans of Donny & Marie's TV variety show, this picture may spark wonderful memories. It encompasses all the shtick you can recall, put over with an exhausting amount of cheap pizazz. Some buffs don't even believe this actually played in theaters, but it really did...mostly on a double-bill with Farrah Fawcett's "Somebody Killed Her Husband". "Coconuts" was the better offering. ** from ****
