Strike Up the Band Ratings & Reviews
Stream on Demand
Sean Axmaker
In many ways it's quintessential Mickey and Judy musical with Rooney at his most energetic ...
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
It's always a pleasure to hear Garland sing, and the fevered and frenzied Rooney is something to behold. But the story is awfully thin.
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
Rooney and Garland are full of effervescent charm, and Berkeley delivers some of his strongest numbers of his MGM period.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Despite the tiresome plot, it's highly entertaining because of the snappy young duo and their big band music.
