Having grown up watching "The Wizard of Oz" this view of the star and the behind the scenes view was sad. Renée Zellweger did a remarkable job of holding steady to her character "Judy" throughout the movie. There were times I watched with tears in my eyes. There were also some slow parts where my mind wandered, thus the 8-level rating. My wife wanted to see this, I'm so glad she did. What we've done collectively to our child stars is horrific. We give it two thumbs up.

Obviously I don't "get it." I found nothing whatsoever funny in this movie. Not a chuckle, nothing. One of the single most boring films I've watched in a while. After 45 minutes my wife said she'll watch it by herself. She didn't laugh either, but I guess she thought she should like it.

We were watching this moving not expecting a lot. We hoped for some comedy. What we found was a lot of overacting and a plot line that was irretrievably bad. At about 35 minutes, I said, should we cut our losses? My wife agreed and we turned it off. That has happened 3-4 times in our 22 years of watching movies. This movie is just that bad. No entertainment value whatsoever.

We were so excited to see the live-action/CGI remake of this classic. I have rarely been this disappointed. It started out well done, but then in Tim Burton's inimitable style, he goes deep dark and disturbing. Ruined the experience. Just simply destroyed any sense of enjoyment I could find watching the film. Why did Disney let him destroy the legacy of Dumbo?
