Not unlike many men my age,I developed a huge crush on Julie Andrews as a kid somewhere between Mary Poppins and Maria Von Trapp.Over the years,Ms.Andrews has made it plain that she while she did enjoy working on the two films that produced these characters,she has not enjoyed the stereotyped image it produced for her.So,she set out to prove that she was indeed not the goody two shoes type that she has often been perceived to be.If that was her quest,she more than conquered it with her performance in this film.While I understand her position,I'm not one of those people that needed to see a film like this in order to understand that she isn't at all like those first two characters she played.It's all fantasy and I get that.All of that being said,I still prefer Mary and Maria vs. what she gives us here.
