Mary Poppins : The Spawn Of Satan!
Date of Review: Sep 1, 2000
My sister came home with this video one day so excited to watch it. I was forced to sit down and watch this dreadful movie with her. I must say that I was horrified by the pathetic soundtrack, the obviously fake backdrop, the horrible acting, and all the badly coreographed synchronized dancing. My sister was singing along happily to the movie while I was wishing I had a semi-automatic to put myself out of the misery that movie was causing me.
The movie was obviously filmed completely indoors including the scenes where they were supposedly outside. It just doesn't make any sense to me that you would shoot an outdoor shot inside over an obviously fake backdrop which has a way of giving you a migraine. I wondered if the director had a bit too many margaritas before coming out with that brilliant idea... The story seemed to go absolutely nowhere with pointless singing and dancing which came seemingly randomly. The acting resembled that of a second grade play and the impression I got from the movie was that the writers just got bored of writing the script and just decided to end it there with some nonsense ridiculous reason Mary Poppins had to leave... This is the worst movie I have ever seen in my life by an enormous margin.
All I can say about this movie is "Heaven help us if they come out with another movie as bad as this..."
