Flick: 'Movin' With Nancy'

3 stars out of 5

I enjoyed this movie, but not that much.

Nancy's singing is, well, somewhat flat, but she manages a few pleasant numbers. Her outfits are totally 60s, which is fun. She comes off kind of appealing, which is fun too.

One thing you simply should not miss, her version of Ray Charles' "What'd I Say" is interesting in a "spectator at a traffic accident" kind of way (with Sammy Davis, Jr. as the hippie photographer). It's a howl, but I don't think that was the intent.

The highlights of this are Frank Sinatra doing "Younger Than Springtime", and Dean Martin singing "Just Bummin' Around". Rent this to watch with friends who enjoy 60s pop and who might enjoy poking fun at the times.
