I'm still on the fence...

but Meryl Streep...

I liked the original so much. But, it would be interesting to see this version. Glad to see Dick Van Dyke is in this new version.

I was hoping for a dark, gritty reboot or possibly a Michael Bay production.

didn't know this was being remade, but it reminded me of Saving Mr. Banks from 2013 ....worth seeing.....

 

funny scene here from Saving Mr. Banks where the early 1960s Disney staff tries to convince the very stiff original author to accept some of the kooky songs and then has to hide "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" for the time being...

Thanks for the link. It confirms this is NOT a remake (like I originally thought). It's actually a sequel. Glad they're not remaking the original.

The clue is in the title......LOL

It looks like a nice movie for Christmas. Emily Blunt was magnificent in "A Quiet Place" (she should really get an Oscar nomination for that), but I think this would be a Golden Globe Musical or Comedy nomination for her

I remember they did a spoof of this on the old Carol Burnett Show. The thing is the person having the sugar forced down him was a diabetic.

The Simpsons "Shary Bobbins" episode (Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala<Annoyed Grunt>cious) was the definitive remake of Mary Poppins.

TRICK A LITTLE LIGHT FANTASTIC

Bored out of my mind. Felt sorry for Lin. Did his character supposed to have a speech impediment? I like Meryl but between Mama Mia and this, she should give musicals a bit of rest.

I respectfully disasgree with my distingusihed colleague @tchm . I found the movie as a whole completely engaging, although I think where the money came from at the end was a bit contrived and unnecessary. And Streep's role in this film was totally unlike her appearance in Mama Mia or any other film I've seen her in. I don't think the songs will hold up as well on their own as those in the original, but they fit the movie quite well.
