Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

BaseballRaysFan Basically, I love this movie. I especially like the Title Song.In my opinion, it's a very enjoyable movie. It's a nostalgic flashback to the 60s. It's fun to see a very young Susan St. James, who later became famous in McMillan and Wife.The movie deals with adolescent girls in a Catholic school who, at the urging of a young, liberal nun named Sister George, decide to attend a co-educational, Inter-denominational Christian Youth Rally in California. The movie never deals with the rally. It deals with the trip. During the trip, the girls deal with the usual problems of teenagers, including boys.Sister George has several battles with the older, more stoic Mother Superior.During the trip, the girls learn about themselves, Sister George has to come to terms with her own doubts about herself, and the Mother Superior is confronted with her own self-doubts.The trip enlightens everyone - even Sister George. At the beginning, she is convinced that she alone is enlightened and all the other nuns are in the dark ages. She seems to take it upon herself to enlighten them. The girls at the school see her as a groovy nun. To them, she's a friend. That will hurt Sister George during the course of the trip.The trip isn't an all-serious social study. There is a lot of comedy on the way. There are two partners in crime; girls who love Sister George are constantly causing headaches for themselves and Mother Superior. In an early scene, they blow up the lab. Sister George taught them the dangers of combining certain common household chemicals because a bomb could be the result and they tested the theory. In another scene, they collect money from the girls parties at St. Frances Academy at night. The party is complete with school-forbidden record players, speakers, and, of course, rock music. This forces Mother Superior to shut down what she calls St. Frances A Go-Go. The funniest scene is a punishment from Mother Superior for another one of the many problems the two girls cause during the trip. The punishment is for the two of them to wash the bus. The girls spot a truck wash on the property where they are and decide to use it - despite the fact that the attendant is out to lunch. One girl drives the bus while the other tries operating the machinery. Neither notice that the bus windows are all open.The only thing that I thought was totally illogical was the scene where movie Indians attacked the bus. Why would they have attacked the bus? They knew they were doing a movie and only an idiot would know that the bus didn't belong in that scene. So why scare the girls half to death and risk your own life attacking it? The scene where the bus is stopped on the tracks with the train coming is predictable, but much more believable than the attacking Indians.All-in-all, the movie is a fun romp through the 60s with girls who are trying to find out who they are and where they belong in the world. Oh, and there are also two nuns who discover that they too need to find out who they are and where they belong.

wes-connors This raggedly produced sequel to "The Trouble with Angels" (1966) focuses on returning conservative "Mother Superior" Rosalind Russell's clash with younger, liberal Stella Stevens (as Sister George). Driver Mary Wickes (as Sister Clarissa), Binnie Barnes (as Sister Celestine), and Dolores Sutton (as Sister Rose Marie) also return. The nuns take a cross country bus trip, from Pennsylvania to California, which provides some lovely locations. Like the original film, we get a "hip" for the sixties Catholic Church.Prurient fun can be had in watching the convent women dancing at a naughty all-girl pajama party, swingin' at a Catholic boys' school, and shortening their skirts. The mischievous "girls" taking center stage are butch Susan Saint James (as Rosabelle) and blonde Barbara Hunter (as Marvel Ann). Two sexy young "Peyton Place" "hunks" appear - first, motorcycle gang leader Michael Christian trades sharp innuendo with Ms. Stevens, then blond ranch-hand John Findlater arouses the girls at a swimsuit party.There were few, if any retakes - note Stevens brushing a fly away from her face, and the falling chair - in fact, the movie plays like four episodes of a TV series; and it was likely, at some point, considered as such. But, it is fairly good fun to watch. Unseen pop duo Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart provide the soundtrack theme. You also get old-timers Milton Berle, Robert Taylor (his last appearance), Van Johnson, and Arthur Godfrey showing they're part of the 1960s effort to merge the "In Crowd" with Catholicism.***** Where Angels Go… Trouble Follows! (4/3/68) James Neilson ~ Rosalind Russell, Stella Stevens, Susan Saint James, Barbara Hunter

dukedraven-1 Okay, we're not talking Shakespeare here, so you don't be disappointed if I find camp instead of fine art. I saw this movie on TV when I was 9-years-old, a short time after it was originally released, and I loved it. Almost as much as I loved Viva Las Vegas. Granted, I was very young at the time and I didn't know any better.Well, I'm in the late 40s and I saw it again, and guess what? I still liked it. It's extremely corny and predictable, but it's a perfect time capsule of the 60s, from the perspective of a silly teen comedy. I love the music by Boyce and Hart, the musical duo that penned a lot of bubble gum music of the day. The opening sequence with the theme song playing is very enjoyable, as well as a scene where convert girls dance with the academy boys. I'm certain that Mike Myers was inspired by this when he crafted his Austin Powers movie.There's youth and innocence intertwined in this picture, even though 1968--the year the movie came out--was a turbulent year, with the Vietnam War going, political assassinations, escalating protests and crime. The plot is dumb too discuss and it really doesn't matter. Just listen to some cheerful music and watch how young everybody looked. Stella Stevens was still a fox and I had a crush on her when I was a kid. Although she wears a nun's habit, you can still admire her beauty. Susan St. James also stars, a few years before she ultimately became Rock Hudson's partner in TV's McMillan and Wife.Plus, you'll also see several aging old-time stars like Rosalind Russelland Milton Berle. Don't feel sorry for them. They showed up and got paid. Better yet, rent the movie and just skip to particular scenes and watch the silliness. I re-watched my favorite scenes and felt good afterwards. Isn't that what it's all about?
