South Pacific (2001)

Member Rating:

Rodgers and Hammerstein's award-winning musical South Pacific, based on stories by James A. Michener, successfully debuted in 1949, and has since been performed scores of times on-stage and onscreen. Its revered musical score is infused with many singable favorites. This made-for-TV movie rendition, shot in Australia, originally aired on ABC and features award-winning actors Glenn Close and Harry Connick Jr. Set on a naval base in the tropics during World War II, the dual love story reveals the challenges faced by romance through racial prejudice and war, as demonstrated by the struggles of the tale's two couples. ~ Sarah Sloboda, Rovi

Glen Close is miscast. Cavorting like a child who has never been in love before seems ridiculous for a woman of her age and grace. If you're going to make the main characters older, adjust the choreography accordingly. If you're going to sing a song about washing a man out of your hair, it might help to have hair -- plus Close's haircut was not period. Finally, Close's voice doesn't have the range needed to sing the score. Save yourself and just watch the original.

Although this doesn't hold a candle to the original film, it was still quite enjoyable. Glenn Close & Harry Connick Jr. are too old play these parts on screen. They are, however, good actors and it's an enjoyable film. The scenery is fantastic and the music is familiar and fun. Don't expect the original, but it's still a good ride.
