I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

A great tongue-in-cheek movie that has one of the funniest gags - a pair of bloomers (underwear) makes a great difference in a high-school girl's life. Every time she wants something good, her bloomers elastic break, they fall down, and she gets what she wants! I love how the non-popular girl gets ahead and also gets the best guys' attention. Great for all the "non-popular in high school" girls out there. There is also a interesting sub-plot about her getting to know her estranged father. He had ignored her for years, every since her mother died and she was being raised by her grandmother. Now he discovers what a good daughter he has and has started to get to know her. That part will reach a lot of people out there with trouble with a parent. A great movie that I really enjoy seeing over and over.

I absolutely adore this movie set in the 1920's and full of the fun and innocence of that time period. "Margie" is a great film that's shown all too rarely on television and is not on VHS or DVD. Let's hope it will be out soon. If you ever see it on the TV listing, give it a look! It stars Jeanne Crain as a high school senior going through all the struggles any teen has--puppy love; problems in school--with both the academics and the popularity issues every student has; and problems with parents. It's got a great supporting cast and is immensely funny. It's most certainly for those who can suspend their disbelief at some of the unlikely antics. The soundtrack is wonderful too.

I have looked for the movie in the stores without any success. "Margie" was wholesome and refreshing. Hopefully today the movie industry will produce movies that the family can sit back and enjoy like we did in the mid 40's and 50's.

Margie is my favorite movie of all time. It appeals to all ages. I have shown it to my mom, daughter, nieces, etc. and they all enjoyed it equally! They should definitely put this movie on video! Don't miss it if it comes on TV in your area.
