The Sound of Music

This is the story about a very outgoing and adventurous nun, that is living in a nunnery, but its not working out too good for her there. So the Reverend Mother at the nunnery sends her off to be a governess to a family of very rambunctious children. Seven rambunctious children to be exact. Their mother has died and they are just trying to get their father's attention. Through singing and dancing, Maria and the children become great friends.

This is one of my all time favorite movies. Musicals are my favorite type of movie and this one is just wonderful. All the songs are catchy and well put together. The storyline is amazing and always keeps my attention. I guess some people could say that its corny, because it definitely is a "chick flick", and very long. There is even an intermission. So it tends to go on for awhile, but it still is an amazing movie. Julie Andrews does a wonderful job as Maria.
