Summary: My Kind of Movie
Review: Dismissed by many as overly-long, poorly-scripted Rat Pack self-indulgence with inferior musical material, "Robin and the 7 Hoods" is a wacky mafia musical in the fun-loving style of pre-Hammerstein Broadway variety shows, and with a pretty snappy collection of Cahn-Van Heusen tunes. Remember, it's this musical, not "Chicago," that gave the Windy City its proudest anthem. But as solid as the Chairman's performance is, it can't match Crosby's, in the venerable crooner's next-to-last film appearance. Once Bing appears mid-way through the film, the rest of the picture--with the exception of the"My Kind of Town" gala number--belongs to Crosby. His acting, singing, and dancing not only outshine his on-screen companions but in many respects make the Rat Pack appear like a coherent musical comedy team. At five foot seven inches, Bing was usually the shortest member on the set, but in both this film and "High Society" his crisp, economical body movements and quick, graceful feet make him "play" taller than his actual height. The dubbing is, as others have observed, pretty unconvincing. On the other hand, most of the dance and music scenes are shot continuously in a single take or two, like an Astaire film. Others may prefer the frenetic and manipulative MTV editing style of films like "Chicago," which permit the filmmaker to "construct" a reality while transforming bozos into Baryshnikovs. I'll take these bozos just as they are.

Summary: Merry Men Take Chicago!... Film at 11...
Review: From the opening shot (literally) to the bell-ringing close, this film shows that the Rat Pack weren't just good singers, they were Great Entertainers. From Peter Falk as the Anti-Columbo to Bing Crosby as Alan Adale, this film packs some of the best scenes, actors and one-liners ever. Once you see this film you'll never look at a cornerstone the same way again.

Summary: The Best Rat Pack Movie
Review: How could the best Rat Pack movie not be the only one in the bunch that's a musical? Frankly, it just tears me up that there's no soundtrack album available for this movie - Frank, Dino and Bing's trio, "Stlye" is marvellous, "Chicago" is, of course, part of the standard Sinatra catalogue by this point, the silly-fun production number "Mr. Booze" is nice (if a bit reminiscent of "Sit Down You're Rocking the Boat" from "Guys and Dolls"), plus a few other fun little throwaway songs, and you've got yourself one heck of a muscial. Add to the songs the fact that Sinatra, Martin, Sammy and Bing are all wonderful actors who are clearly having fun with their roles, and it's a heck of a movie.

Summary: It must be me.
Review: I finally watched this movie over a friends house. He loved it. I thought it was trast. Plain and simple.I have never liked Frank Sinatra for personal reasons. (if i put them in my review, i'm sure this won't be printed) Dean Martin and Sammy Davis i never really thought as movie stars but more like nightclub entertainers. I respect their work but like all the other Rat Pack movies, this one sucks also.To me, it was just a stupid movie that made no sense, has no value and doesn't contribute anything to the movie musical. So i'm sure i am the minority on this and i better not say anything except that if your looking for one of those block-buster musicals, this is NOT the film for you.

Summary: For all Rat Pack Lovers!!!
Review: If you LOVE the Rat Pack, especially Frank Sinatra, then you'll LOVE this movie! It's filled with sarcasm and witty retorts that could only come from the Rat Pack. Anyone who has ever seen them live will appreciate this movie. It incorporates the same kind of humor and irreverance that was always present in their live shows. So if you're a true fan I highly recommend this film. If you're not already a fan after seeing this film you will be!
