We went to see Mary Poppins, today. What fun. I think it stands up well, to the original film

The children were just a delight to watch. It had a bit more story to it, and was a tear jerker ,for me ,in parts( but I cry at everything) So, I wouldn't fear about it upsetting children

The cast is amazing. EB stand up to Julie A  very well. D*ck Van D*ke is a national treasure. His part is small ,but he certainly doesn't disappoint

It is about a 2 hr film. Do yourself a favor, and see this one. It is magic

I totally agree. We just saw it this morning and we really liked it. What also made it nice was it was pretty much adults with no kids in the audience.

I honestly don't think it will disappoint. It is the best family film, I have seen ,in decades

Thank you for the review!  The movie is based heavily on the book.  My kids lovingly tell me that I cry over everything. I will again prove them right when we all see the movie on Christmas Day!

@cherry  Saw Merry Poppins today, also. Excellent movie! Great music. Recommend it. (Was surprised a remake would be as good as the first time around, but it was.)

We just got home from seeing it this afternoon and really enjoyed it! It wasn’t just a remake of the original Mary Poppins either. All of the main character actors were excellent and the special guest stars were great, too. It’s a must see movie for the family!

I’m so glad to hear the positive reviews. You never know how the remakes will go.

I loved it. I thought it was fabulous. 

Much applause at the end.
