Every child wants to ride or drive a flying car

on June 23, 2013

Posted by: Auroran

from Aurora, IL

Verified Purchase:Yes

What child has not wanted to ride or even drive a flying car? Every child is captivated by the wonder of flight; and although piloting an airplane requires difficult and expensive certification, every adult can drive a car and every child has ridden in one. A child can easily see his parents, and then himself, at the wheel of a car that just happens to be able to fly. Thus, the basic premise of this movie is perfect for both children and adults.

This movie's story, though, is a little oversimplified.

- The primary action is relegated to an imagination sequence--a way to avoid attempting to reconcile the sequence with real life.

- The main character has to play a father figure, a leading man, and the comic relief, all rolled into one. The great Danny Kaye could, with considerable difficulty, handle the latter two roles, but I never remember him trying to be a father figure at the same time.

- The female lead's role is rather passive. She plays the role of would-be mother very well, but helpmate to her would-be husband not so much.

- The children are given roles with too little intelligence or creativity for their age.

The scenery is beautiful; I think the movie was mostly filmed on location in England, France, and perhaps Germany.

The title song is stupendous--the kind that you have difficulty getting out of your head. The other songs are less memorable.

- In real life, Chitty Bang Bang was a famous early race car designed and driven by Count Louis Zborowski, son of a racing driver and an American heiress.

I must point out that I paid only $5 for the Blu-Ray/DVD combo on sale. It was certainly worth that price. I would have been more reticent about paying full retail price for this.

My Best Buy number: 0307312523

What's great about it: Excellent premise, beautiful scenery, great title song

What's not so great: Rather weak script

What's great about it: Seeing it in HD on blu ray was a real joy

What's not so great: Its too much to ask ANY child to sit through a movie thats almost 2 and a half hours long.
