Mother Goose Rock 'n' Rhyme (1990)

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Absolutely brilliant

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

"Quirky" doesn't begin to describe this. If you're not in the mood for this, you may well find it intensely annoying, but if you relax there's much to enjoy for adults as well as kids (my 5-year-old daughter adores it). It's a veritable Who's Who of 80's pop culture (remember Pia Zadora??). In fact, the lead actor Dan Gilroy is about the only one I didn't recognize, although he does a fine job. The acting is at once broad and deadpan, with lots of wordplay and bad puns.Fans of the cult musician/composer (and former child actor--see "The Swan" with Grace Kelly) Van Dyke Parks will take special pleasure in his whimsical score; Van Dyke even acts in this one. Director Jeff Stein ("The Kids Are Alright") has his 80s MTV video skills down (fans of the fish-eye lens will have a ball), but the story meanders to a pleasant conclusion, and if it's not your cup of tea, you can at least enjoy "spot the cameo" (look! It's Dweezil Zappa!).

I have read several reviews and message board entries on here, and the problem with you guys is that you are remembering it from the context of a 6 year old. I still own a copy and i tote it along everywhere i go and show it to film friends of mine and we cry with laughter. This movie is the worst rubbish imaginable. Our only guess to why all these people agreed to do this movie is to fulfill a court order of community service hours. The acting is horrendous, our lead actress Shelly Duvall takes the taco here pal. (the only good acting comes from Gordon through out the entire movie, luckily) The costumes should be illegal, ex: the Stray Cats bar. Some of the Rhymies are just plaster masks loosely attached. it makes me sad for Rick Baker. The downright gumption of the producers to get away with the poorly construed innuendo's of Woody Harrelson's Little Lamb, makes me sigh. This movie can probably seen as a metaphor for the consumerism and facade of the world of the 1980s.The only redeeming part of this movie is the fake 80s hair band dungeon torture sequence. I like singing along with the words on screen.

This has been my favorite movie ever since I was 2. My mom taped it when it aired in 1990, and I've watched it ever since. Watching it over and over again makes it the funniest movie I've ever seen. I recommend this to children and even adults because it is very entertaining. Believe it or not, there are many famous people in this movie as well.

I loved this movie as a kid...I watched it so many times i think the tape wore out. The imagery is so good and it's bursting with so many stars! (among my favorites: Paul Simon and Little Richard...even though Little Richard's performance was so good it scared me somewhat) If you've never seen this movie i suggest watching it right away because it shouldn't be missed.
