Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . soundtrack than WALK, DON'T RUN, so the former rates higher on the all-time list of flicks about the Olympics. However, since Columbia Pictures churned out WALK, DON'T RUN (probably the most famous film ever made in Japan), Sony Corporation snapped up Columbia the first chance it got in order to collect the treasure chests of royalties accumulating during WALK's semi-annual re-releases throughout that Asian island nation. Besides becoming a cash cow for Sony, WALK is remembered today as one of Cary Grant's best-documented showings in an Olympic competition. Though the world record for the 50 km walk has improved from 4 hours, 50 seconds to 3:32:33 since 1964, there's little doubt that Grant still would be able to stroll along with the best of them if he had not suddenly succumbed in 1986. (Considering that he has born Archibald Leach, Cary may well have won many Olympic medals in the lesser-known events under various aliases and nationalities.) Other than the Tokyo Olympics, the plot of WALK revolves around a Japanese sex toy that enables swingers to introduce newbies to their lifestyle by suddenly lowering the partitions between the bedrooms of adjoining apartments at bedtime through the use of a universal remote control. Oh what fun!

kenjha During the housing shortage of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, two men end up sharing an apartment with a woman. In this remake of "The More the Merrier," the setting shifts from WWII Washington to 1960s Tokyo and the plot has been tweaked, but it pales next to the original. Grant injects energy into the role of the matchmaker (Charles Coburn won an Oscar for the original), but it's sad that his great career came to an end in this lame comedy. Hutton, resembling a young Jimmy Stewart, is likable in the role played by Joel McCrea in the earlier film. Eggar lacks the charisma of Jean Arthur. The humor seems labored and it goes on much too long.

edwagreen Those housing shortages. We saw this in the 1943 comedy "The More the Merrier," that garnered Charles Coburn an Oscar and 23 years later, the industry try to capitalize on another film dealing with a housing shortage-"Walk Don't Run." The results certainly were not as good.The Tokyo 1964 Olympics causes a housing shortage in England leading Cary Grant to share an apartment with Samantha Eggar. Kind-hearted Cary finds Jim Hutton, also homeless in Tokyo and takes him in.The film starts off in an hilarious way when Eggar tries to make a time schedule for using the bathroom, etc.Believe it or not, it becomes downhill when romance develops between Eggar, who is engaged to a stuff shirt British diplomat, and Hutton. With some Soviet running around trying to make trouble, the old idea of espionage develops and an international incident can only be avoided with Hutton marrying Eggar. Silly to say the least.

denscul Grant never won an Oscar, but has become one of the most acclaimed film stars ever. For those who find this film "trite, dated, and boring" I dare you watch it without laughing at least a few times and smiling a few more. This film accomplishes what most of us pay to see - it entertains without being preachy or sending a message. Not that this last effort doesn't have a message. Smantha Eggers fiancé plays the bureaucratic type we have all meet through the course of our lives, and it fun to laugh at him.This film is a remake of another film made during WWII. It was about another crowded city, for a much more serious reason. The War had drawn tens of thousands from outside the city, to fight the largest war yet. Movies for war time audiences(the film industry was at its height) were not interested in "message movies", they just wanted a few hours of light entertainment and a bag of popcorn to forget about the War.Grant's career, which everyone seems to think remarkable, was made up of a staple of films that expose his comedic talents. "Bringing Up Baby and "The Bachelor and the Boby Soxer" are no more or less than "Walk, Don't Run" but the meat and potatoes of Grant's films. He did made some films, like "Destination Toyko" which could be considered a serious melodrama aimed at helping the War effort, but his pairing with Tony Curtis in a film about a pink submarine was far more Grant-like in that it was funny and more entertaining to watch today. What age does to any art form is most important in judging its value as an art form."Walk Don't Run" doesn't pretend to be serious-its a comedy. If it makes you laugh or smile, its mission has been accomplished. Whether it makes money, was only important at the time the film was made. It now belongs to the Ages.If someone is looking for a message, I think the film is about the last truly amateur Olympics. Some have described Hutton's character as a dullard. I would describe him as ambitious, unpretentious, and a true amateur sportsman. Since he finished 10th in the Walk Marathon, he represents the average athlete-only a few go home with medals.Everyone who looks back at any film, novel, or play, must remember the time in which it was written. Virginity and social correctness meant one thing in 1964, just as they mean another in 2007. Who knows what they will mean, if anything another 43 years from now? Just as Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest" was a satire about Victorian society which doesn't exist anymore, the play is still being performed today.
