Severely underrated as a horror movie
Ray NezNov 24, 2019A truly deranged film
Patrick WillemsJun 19, 2019Songs about kidnapping women should not be allowed to be this catchy.

carolaMay 31, 2020can't tell if this is really sexist or subtextually feminist but it's one of my childhood films so let's just say it's the latter

The sexual politics of this film are so outdated it almost feels like a satire and because of that I have no choice but to declare this a brilliant musical comedy. Joyous! All singing, all dancing! Such fun choreography. Feels like a candy-colored version of that one…

This movie is absolutely ridiculous from beginning to end, but I cannot help but watch it. I have loved it for years and frequently get the music stuck in my head. There is no way this movie would fly in today’s culture, but considering when it was made it is a masterpiece. 10/10
Hollypop lovedSeven Brides for Seven BrothersOne of my all time favorites!!! The barn raising scene!!!
James New is "meh" onSeven Brides for Seven BrothersOne of the most prolific musicals of this time and one that’s a very dated watch. Songs are solid but forgettable but the colour grading is particularly nice to look at. It’s decently funny and well-paced but not really for me
- Parker Gamet is "meh" onSeven Brides for Seven Brothers
The audacity of the men in this movie. For Christ sake, women STAND UP. Um lying, kidnapping, and manipulation just sprinkled in LMAOO I mean I know this is a different time but good lord
Kward0610 likedSeven Brides for Seven BrothersA bit sexist and outdated at times in its dialogue and story, but this was still an interesting and good watch. The barn raising dance is one of the greatest dance sequences of all time.
EliseLace likedSeven Brides for Seven BrothersI love the singing and the dancing in this! Its entertaining though not a great “moral of the story” with the kidnapping and the older nature of the show haha

I honestly love this musical… however it is the definition of Stockholm syndrome (that part definitely didn’t age well). Besides that it is a 10/10!
K.K. Grable lovedSeven Brides for Seven BrothersIt’s been so long since I watched this movie and it’s literally so wild. Like they literally kidnap the girls. But I still love it it’s so good.
Creative-circles is "meh" onSeven Brides for Seven BrothersHonestly, the musical is just bad. The entire plot is just a no for me, but the singing is good so…I guess there’s that

Metacritic
A profoundly sexist and eminently hummable 1954 CinemaScope musical—supposedly set in the great outdoors, but mainly filmed on soundstages—with some terrific athletic Michael Kidd choreography and some better-than-average direction by Stanley Donen.
