pecaro0518 OK, I like the movies from this time period. I love the funny/goofy/ hippie stuff. This one takes the cake! It's so fun to watch, it's one of my absolute favorite movies ever. This movie is worth watching just for the music. The songs are so catchy! I have sung them in my head all my life since I was a little girl from seeing this movie just once! I'm so glad it's available on DVD now. I watch it over and over. It's another one of those comforting movies. The story is cute, has a little "drama" (lol!) I like that 70's way of dancing that Janet Leigh does! The kids are in a band "Harold and the Hangups" and I love the parts where they "jam". It's so very fun. Oh-the part where Tony Randall sings a song is also very catchy and fun! Very fun to see a young Richard Dreyfuss! A must see for all. Classic.
Steve R. Hastings It's a goofy lightweight comedy. Mostly it's unremarkable, the kind of movie I'd give a 5 score out of 10. But the underwater scenes, especially the ones with the dolphins, are kind of fun; and it's also kind of fun to see Roddy McDowell, Jim Backus, and Ken Berry hamming it up.There are several groovy 60's pop music songs, the costumes and haircuts are extremely 60's, and the 60's slang is so silly I wonder if they made up half of it. Merv Griffin appears in a cameo as himself. Tony Randall even sings one song!You will probably enjoy seeing it once but you probably won't want to buy a copy. See it sometime when you are in the mood for a large dose of the 1960's.
vjsavannah This movie was released the year I was born. I was privilege to it some years later as a weekend movie. I have long since tried to find it on VHS. I've even put my wife, (who was 13 at release) on the hunt for the movie. The movie had so many realistic(now) properties in it. Then, it was truly unconceivable of a family living under the sea. I can still hear the song in my head after all these years. Hopefully I'll find this movie to add to my collection. Its definitely a must see with the kids. Can anyone at that time actually believe that we could live under water. I can only say its like the Jetsons leave their high rise and take the plunge into the ocean. The creators had a great for-sight into the future. Who knows, even now; someone may bring up the idea again for a sitcom. Hmmmmmmmm.
eosten Hello Down There is one of my favorite childhood movies, I can't believe it didn't make it to DVD yet! I still sing Little Goldfish at the oddest times because it harbors sentimental value I guess. It's kind of soothing...my bunnies like it. And I'll never forget calling that home under the sea "the Green Onion." Richard Dryfeuss is classic as the hippie boyfriend every dad had nightmares about. Tony Randall and Janet Leigh play comedically well off each other, especially as Janet Leigh tries to come to terms with being under the ocean. Just at great all around movie.Although some people might feel it is cheesy, I think it's hilarious. There's something to be said for wholesome fun family movies. So, get it on DVD!
