Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
Directed by Stanley Donen
- Jake LawDecember 29, 2025Great golden age movie:) The plot is meaningless, the acting is ok, the music Is fine, the dancing is alright, but still it’s a riot of a good time. I’ve watched this dozens of times and will watch it hundreds more. An absolute classic film that has no right to be as fun as it is
- Mister ArnJuly 25, 2025“Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” is a lively musical built on big songs and even bigger choreography. The athletic dance sequences are genuinely impressive, and the acting suits the expressive style the film requires. But the story, especially the “kidnap-your-future-wife” plotline and its treatment of women, lands awkwardly today. If you set aside the dated gender politics and focus on the sheer energy of the musical numbers, it remains an entertaining watch.
