Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954)

Adam Pontifee comes down from his mountain farm to do his shopping for the next five months — he wants the usual staples: meal, tobacco, wife… He tells the skeptical shopkeeper, "I haven't set my mind to somethin' yet but what I've gotten it…I'm here today to get me a wife!" Well, he finds one and she finds out, too late, that he comes with six brothers.

Really fun, great choreography, and it comes with built-in bathroom breaks (any time the women folk break into song, it gets a tad slow). But, all in all, this one's a winner. Great pick for “Family Film Night.”
