"...This is the definitive showcase..." 04/30/1996 p.8DEntertainment Weekly
"[A] one-stop-shopping avalanche of snippets from vintage MGM musicals....The hosting segments built around the clips are more poignant than ever..." 10/15/2004 p.60 Premiere
"A documentary on behind-the-scenes talent is superb, and the deleted scenes are at times revelatory..." 12/01/2004 p.165 Chicago Sun-Times 10 of 10
[1] This isn't just a compilation film, with lots of highlights strung together. Those kinds of movies quickly repeat themselves. That's Entertainment! is more of a documentary and a eulogy. A documentary of a time that began in 1929 and seemed to end only yesterday, and a eulogy for an art form that will never be again...Hollywood will continue to make musicals, of course (although, curiously enough, the form never has been very popular overseas). But there will never be musicals like this again, because there won't be the budgets, there won't be the sense of joyous abandon, there won't be so many stars in the same place all at once, and--most of all--there won't be the notion that a musical has to be "important"...The movie's fun from beginning to end. It's not camp, and it's not nostalgia: It's a celebration of a time and place in American movie history when everything came together to make a new art form. - Roger Ebert
