4/4

The movie's fun from beginning to end. It's not camp, and it's not nostalgia: It's a celebration of a time and place in American movie history when everything came together to make a new art form.

It offers a no-muss, no-fuss opportunity to breeze through about 30 years of history in a little over 2 hours. And for those interested in the casual, behind-the-scenes perspective of the narration segments, there’s that as well.

Thanks to "That's Entertainment!" the legacy of MGM lives on for another generation. It captures totally the aura and spectrum of what the musical film was in its finest hour.

It actually lives up to the "It's more than a movie; it's a celebration" advertising tagline.

A fantastic collection of some of the finest musical sequences in the history of film. It really covers a lot of ground. Even those who have seen their share of MGM musicals will likely be introduced to something new. (First and only viewing - 12/9/2014)
