On the whole it's one of the best musicals ever made.

...it's hard to dislike something so cheerful and uplifting as this movie.

It has its moments and the stars are good, but it's really overrated.

A love song for the narcissistic, and theater people are sure to eat up the film, commentary, extras, and first rate DVD packaging.

Minnelli's best musical is sparked by witty allusions to real-life showbiz persona like pretentious actor Jose Ferrer and birlliant but aging dancer Fred Astaire, the film's star, who shines when dancing, both with Cyd Charisse and alone.

The musical becomes a frenetic meditation on pop art versus high art, coming down hard on the side of the former.

"the undisputed highlight of Astaire's post-Rogers career"
September 16, 2015
Widely considered one of the greatest movie musicals of all time, Vincent Minnelli's "The Band Wagon" connects a jumble of comedic backstage Broadway shenanigans with mix-matched show tunes via Fred Astaire's impeccable dance routines.

If you like an old-fashioned Broadway musical, you can't go wrong with this one.

A fun musical with creative choreography, but far too little substance.
April 11, 2015
Sorry, the beloved "Singin' in the Rain" isn't the finest of the legendary MGM musicals. "The Band Wagon'' has better music, better dances, better direction, more lavish sets and costumes and a wittier script (by the same writers).
