Mary Poppins returns is a magical treat for all the senses. The music, dancing/choreography, sets, costumes... a pure delight. If you are 5 or 95 you are going to want to see it, on the big screen. If you are lucky you will sit next to a little boy with a box of Sour Patch candy clutched in his hands that he doesn't want to open until the movie starts.
Emily Blunt was simply outstanding. A different Mary Poppins than Julie Andrews, so I did not find myself comparing them. HIGHLY recommended. A wonderful way to start the new year. I was smiling throughout the experience, except when I had a lump in my throat. Get thee to the theatre!
Here is what Chris and to say about it:
"Great staging, artwork, costumes, direction, and casting. Some of the lyrics will be lost on kids. The lamplighter song and choreography stood out and was reminiscent of several dance numbers with Dick Van Dyke from the original movie. The closing number with the balloons was not the crescendo the film deserved. Four chimney brushes out of five."
We saw the movie yesterday and enjoyed it. Definitely a feel-good movie. :)

We saw it yesterday too and agree with your every word (Chris too). I loved it...but I cried!
