Reviews One of my all time favourites. As a kid I loved the "If I were a rich man" song and 30 years later I still love it. As an adult I love the humour and the very clever wit, brilliant acting, great story line and have found it to be completely timeless. It makes me smile, laugh, and cry. A great film for the whole family. I really wanted the DVD for myself and to hopefully get my kids to watch it so they can appreciate something other than the mindless, big bang, dumbed down, shallow rubbish movies that Hollywood seems to churn out endlessly and seem to be all the rage.

Report this review Review created: 11/06/07 by: I love the film Fiddler on the roof, so with changes in viewing now I wanted to get an up to date DVD, so I can continue to see it at my own pleasure and maybe even my children. As it is easy and less space to store than a video. I enjoy the songs and the actors. A very young Paul Michael Glaser. Even Roger Lloyd Pack is in it again young but still distinct look which we know from Only fools and Horses or even Vicar of Dibley. I like the story of how poor people lived and worked to survive many hardships, but it contains some good humour too. To me this is a classic film to cherish and a lovely break from too many explicit films of violence. Review ID: 10000000003798223 Was this review helpful? Report this review i liked the fact that it was basically about family life with the father going out to work and there being all the trials and tribulations of the family for e.g the children having their ideas about what should happen then the father seeing the changes in life and respecting their choices. I bought this one because of the music it was attached to and also because it brought back childhood memories of my own Review ID: 10000000003314530 Was this review helpful?

Report this review I wanted it for my daughter in law in Australia for Xmas. She loves her musicals and had left all her CD's at home with a view to changing to D VD in the future and as it's light to pack I thought I would replace a couple for her. It was very cheap and just what she wanted. Review ID: 10000000002740751 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
