Hello Down There January 23, 2010 Lr Lyons This is one of my favorites. It has fun, music, intrigue (granted not at todays pace) & lots of twists and turns to keep you interested. Family's will find this refreshing & a very young Richard Drufuess.
Hello Down There September 9, 2009 Anne M. Acuff (Williamsburg, OH USA) This movie was very entertaining. It is a total 60's movie. The costumes are great and keep with the era. My husband and I watched it together and really enjoyed it. I wish that they had more scenes of the sea life. they did have some sharks but it was quite blurry when they showed any underwater scenes.
The music was typical of the time. The parents were great with the kids encouraging them to chase there dreams. All and all I am going to let the grandkids watch this when they are older. I think it will give them a great perspective on how things were back then.
Good feeling movie July 12, 2009 C. Berg (Wellsboro,PA) This is a movie I haven't seen since I was a kid but I remembered it. Yes it's corny in places, but it makes you laugh and wish for a simpler time. Family friendly, but adults will enjoy it as much as the kids.
Fun, if slight, movie July 9, 2009 John S. Harris (Memphis, TN) I think I was 7 or 8 when I saw this on TV in the early 70's. The underwater "Green Onion" house was a cool to me then as any Bond villain's extravagant lair was to me when I got older and started watching Bond films.
This movie truly represents a unique time in 60's movie history when pretty much every film featured a group of young kids trying to form a rock band, though what passed for "rock" was more like "beach pop".
Richard Dreyfuss is in this one. Turns out "Jaws" wasn't the first film to feature him in the ocean with sharks!
The transfer on this DVD is very crisp, clean, and bright. No bonus features to speak of.
The film strains to fill out its 90-minute running time, but there still is no real "ending". The Navy sends divers down to investigate the strange sounds and goings-on at the underwater house, but the film ends as soon as the divers hit the water. It may not have been a necessary plot point, but it did add some production value to the film -- the footage of the Navy divers parachuting out of an airplane in their scuba suits was kind of fun to watch.
Janet Leigh co-stars. I never realized how much she and daughter Jamie Lee Curtis looked like each other until now.
If for no other reason, watch this movie to see Richard Dreyfuss fake-play the bass guitar like a Rock God wanna-be.
