Hubba at the Movies
July 1, 2008
How about this one from a cinematic archealogical dig?
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
Year: Who cares?
Directed By: Who cares?
Starring: Uh, seven guys, seven gals, other people. At the risk of sounding redundant, who cares?
Seven burly farm boy types who handily double as vaudeville singers go in search of wives. Stupidity, covered wagons and mild matrimony ensue. Gratuitous shots of shirtsleeves rolled clean up to the elbows.
Musical score includes such unforgettable classics as “Sabine (sobbin,’ get it?) Women.”
Quotable line- “Why, you’re a disgrace to the Potopi name!”
Rating- Half a thumb up.

Oof. For some reason this sounds like it’s connected to A Very Brady Wedding.

Only a half a thumb? I think you are a little harsh there, it is one of my all time favorites. It’s not very often anymore that you can find good wholesome movies like this. A note to audience: very family friendly and funny.

Gott’a go along with Jane on Paint Your Wagon. Come on, a western musical with Lee Marvin as the main character? It doesn’t get any better than that!

I’d never even heard of that movie until Joe came accross it on TV one night and MADE me watch it! He went on and on about great it was & how much I was just gonna love it … blah, blah, blah! I think I’m going to have to agree with you on this one Matt, but I’ve have seen some worse movies. And this one does have the family friendly feeling for sure! It is kind of funny though when you think about it… Joe’s a Bruch, he’s the only one of his “6″ brothers that’s dating, (Bruchs’ only get married on an extremely rare occasion), and he loves this movie! Kinda makes ya laugh a little, huh?!

What about the unforgettable song lyric: “No man can sleep when he sleeps with sheep!”
