Movie Review: Fiddler on the Roof


Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...whenever you have found this entry.  Today (9/27/17) I am checking out the musical Fiddler on the Roof.  It stars Topol, Norma Crane and Leonard Frey. "In prerevolutionary Russia, a Jewish peasant contends with marrying off three of his daughters while growing anti-Semitic sentiment threatens his village."  As of today it has an 8/10 with 31,909 votes

  • Good grief, 3 blessed hours?  What is this possibly the greatest work of fantasy fiction of all time?  
  • What kind of a nut job fiddles on a roof?  
  • Why is it tradition is good sometimes and other times it is bad not to evolve?
  • How to wear clothes?  That isn't HOW to wear clothes, that is WHAT to wear...nut job
  • These are some weird look people!
  • I always thought that Zero was in this flick, maybe just the broadway show
  • The Fiddle is a horrible sounding instrument at times
  • Bald!  GROSS!  DISGUSTING!
  • I already feel like this is going to be a three hour bad episode of Seinfeld
  • His name is Motel?  Just like in Trailer Park Boys!
  • But...you just said....you didn't want a match...unless I'm already confused who is who
  • I believe I am...yep I was
  • That just ruined all those clothes....
  • Why does the one kid have red hair....did they sell her soul?  
  • WHERE THE HELL DID THOSE OTHER KIDS COME FROM?
  • I agree with Tevye, that is what I think "God" does with me.  Press the Gene button as I used to call it
  • Nice they used the Christina Aguilera song (A joke people)
  • Gross, fowl smell horrible!
  • MY GOD HE IS HAVING A FIT WHILE SINGING!  PUT A WALLET IN HIS MOUTH!
  • So he is socialist?
  • Yeah I feel like Tavye
  • Did the writer get paid for every time a character said Sabbath?
  • I will say this flick is moving at a decent clip
  • Wait....that is the guy that wants to marry the 19 year old?
  • I don't know what that was but I'd like to a shot or two 
  • Hell she'll be a widow in 5 years
  • Dancing is so...weird
  • Good grief, that fiddler looks like he is waiting to rape and kill someone...and doesn't matter if it is male or female!
  • That is the second dumbest dance I've seen!
  • How can she grow old?  He is as old as her dad!
  • This kid from Kiev is an annoying idealist
  • That song was just horrible!  It is a miracle I didn't vomit
  • Wow some of these scenes just drag on and on
  • How many story lines does this flick have?
  • I feel like Robin Williams should be here somewhere
  • Bearded people do play with their beards a lot
  • Wait...should the men be dancing with men?  
  • Is that the rabbi's underwear?
  • Well this escalated quickly
  • Hodel, isn't that the name of the giant in Game of Thrones?
  • Why aren't they speaking Russian?
  • Still 45 minutes?
  • This second half of the flick, since Motel's wedding hasn't exactly been real bright and cheery
  • He has a lot of hands....
  • Yep, this turned into a laugh a minute
  • I'm officially bored
  • Just following orders...but then again can I blame people who said that?
  • Are they going to end it with the entire boat going down, because that is the mood this flick is having
Well that became a true laugh riot didn't it!  I guess I'll start with my personal rating.  I'm going to go below the curve and give it a 6/10.  I'll be honest it was long.  LOOOONG!  That is my biggest gripe about it.  Dear lord I felt like I had a birthday during this flick.  

It is also a bit depressing at the end isn't it?  It makes me sad that these things actually happened in life.  Both the daughter/father thing and the kicking of the people out of their house.

I don't have a lot to say about the flick other then that.  It is what it is.
