Very well executed

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Am I Missing Something?

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I never saw this movie, didn't know it was a movie when I bought the album back in 1978. I loved the soundtrack album, I wish they would reissue it in CD. I have a Greatest Hits album that includes On the shelf, but I also liked the other songs, specially Falling In Love (it was great), the instrumental version of May Tomorrow Be a Perfect Day, and that cover they did that went like this "Baby, now that I found you I can't let you go, I built my world around you, I need you so, baby even though you don't need me..." One day I had that song playing and my older brother said "Wow, that's a very old song!". He remembered the original; for me it was new. Later I heard the original (I don't remember the title of the tune), but I still prefer Donny & Marie's version.I really enjoyed (and still do) their music and their TV show when I was a teenager. God bless them both!

So the movie was a little hokey... I know "I" really enjoyed it. Right up there with GREASE with Olivia Newton John and John Travolta! Seriously! Anything Donny and Marie did back then was something to talk about. I wish they could have continued on with the Donny and Marie talk Show that was out a couple years ago. That was one of the high lights of my day. Good Clean Humor.Going Coconuts I remember, introduced his wife for the first time. I thought that was pretty clever. I'm thinking they could have included more of her really. The song "Falling in Love" was great. That happened to be on one of their albums. I remember playing it until the needle broke...

OK so I might be a tad biased in saying that I really liked this film as I am a huge Osmond fan!! But it was really funny. I enjoyed seeing Donny and Marie interact they have such amazing chemistry working as a brother and sister team. Being only 19 a lot of people think it is odd that someone my age likes The Osmonds, but The Osmonds are so incredibly talented and I really admire them, they are awesome!! Donny and Marie have amazing voices, if only all the famous singers these days could sing half as good as The Osmonds. I loved every song they sang in the movie. If anyone happens to read this checkout Donny's cd called "What I Mean't To Say", it just shows what a wonderful singer he truly is.

No one ever talks about this movie, least of all the Osmonds! In the recent E! True Hollywood Story on Marie and the VH1 Behind The Music bio of the Osmond family, "Goin' Coconuts" is mysteriously missing from the Osmond's resume. Is it that bad? Actually, no. It's a blandly cute semi-musical with Donny and Marie in Hawaii where Marie's necklace attracts the attention of clumsy villains. It's repetitive, extremely mild, unpolished, but for fans of Donny & Marie's TV variety show, this picture may spark wonderful memories. It encompasses all the shtick you can recall, put over with an exhausting amount of cheap pizazz. Some buffs don't even believe this actually played in theaters, but it really did...mostly on a double-bill with Farrah Fawcett's "Somebody Killed Her Husband". "Coconuts" was the better offering. ** from ****
