The Music Man Ratings & Reviews
Bob Blanchett
February 26, 2025
Preston reprised his 1957 musical origination of his role superbly, but Shirley Jones steals the show.
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
The Music Man might not be remembered as highly as its movie musical contemporaries but the film is still a fan favorite.
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
A treat to re-watch, almost 50 years from its original production date.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Glorious production, with gorgeous music, dancing.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
...a quintessential slice of Americana, featuring wonderful music, engaging characters, and an uplifting story.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
The music is glorious, but as a movie, this is a photographed play, a nostalgic evocation of small-town American that was congruent with Kennedy's New Frontier; within a year, though, Kennedy would be assassinated and the optimistic mood would vanish
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
One of the most obnoxious musicals ever to be staged for movie cameras.
Nick's Flick Picks
Nick Davis
Robert Preston is note-perfect in a bright musical even non-fans of the genre will enjoy.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Too stagey and too gooey, but it preserves Preston's classic performance
eFilmCritic.com
Scott Weinberg
Robert Preston shines in one of the sunniest ol' musical classics under the sun.
Old School Reviews
John A. Nesbit
reminds of that good old down-home attitude of the Midwest
