    4 Stars A family classic - film and car Review with images 27/02/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A fun family film suitable for all ages young and old

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A required taste so my hubby says.

    ~~ Chitty Chitty Bang Bang ~~ It is back to my collection of musicals and here I review the classic Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. When I started to think about the movie, I asked myself what comes to mind when I think about it, is it the characters, the silly jokes, all the production numbers. No; it is the car and that fun song Chitty Chitty Bang Bang; I love you. Even now in my head I am singing away to that song. It will take me days to get it out of my head now, I know, I know I need to get a life, he, he. ~~ The Film ~~ You put your DVD in and start the film, but you are faced with a blank ... more

    2 Stars A Load of Old Bamboo 03/05/2004
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Likeable lead, nice locations

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Long, flat, lifeless, packed with unmemorable tunes

    As another blustery bank holiday weekend scrapes by, so out come all the usual suspects, thrust upon us by unmerciful television executives with little regard for value for money in the licence fee stakes. 1968's 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' was adapted for the screen by Roald Dahl, he who had already mangled Ian Fleming's work with the film adaptation of 'You Only Live Twice'. The book was Flemings only literary departure from Bond, and while Bond took to the big screen with little difficulty, 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' is one big unwieldy mess of a picture. Receiving lukewarm to damning reviews ... more

    5 Stars Grow the roses of success Review with images 28/08/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good film. Good sing-a-long songs

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Could be a bit long for some people. Not many extras on the DVD

    When it comes to musicals, you can guarantee I’ll be in front of the TV watching it! I love musicals, and have quite a few in my DVD collection. One of them is “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”. I don’t think there’s many people out there who hasn’t seen it. It’s normally on every Christmas/New Year. (Perhaps I should have posted this review then!). Anyway, on with the show, as they say! Welcome to Ian Flemming's CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG. The film starts with the car in question in a speedway race and the theme tune to the film. But, those days are long gone and the poor old car is now sitting in a ... more

    4 Stars THE WORLDS FAVOURITE FLYING CAR 19/02/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good Family fun

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Rather long for younger children

    An Ian Fleming novel produced by Albert ‘Cubby’ Broccoli featuring loads of gadgets and a flying car…you’d have to guess I was talking about one of the many James Bond movies but it fact and improbably it’s Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! From the first Bond film in 1962 to his last in 1989 ‘Cubby’ Broccoli devoted himself to producing what was to become the multi-million dollar James Bond movie franchise. However 1968 was a rare exception and sitting in between ‘You Only Live Twice’ (1967) and ‘On Her Majesty's Secret Service’ (1969) ... more

    5 Stars Truly Scrumptious 10/02/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A classic in family entertainment

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A very long film, no thrills DVD

    An epic amongst children’s entertainment is a good way to describe the 1968 film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, It is family entertainment at its very best. With a running time of 2 hours and 25 minutes it is extremely long for a children’s film. Remarkably however children as young as two or 3 will watch the entire film with interest such is the level of entertainment it provides. THE STORY: Dick Van Dyke takes the lead role as Caractacus Potts, an inventor whose enthusiasm is far greater than his level of success. He lives in a windmill with his children Jeremy and Jemima and his own eccentric ... more
