Ozus' World Movie Reviews
It lost its magic.
May 23, 2011
Resource
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
A total misfire; Ross was too old for Dorothy. Badly dated, doesn't hold up at all.
August 30, 2002
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Nearly as lame as its reputation suggests.
November 20, 2002
EmanuelLevy.Com
Among many faults, Diana Ross is miscast
August 14, 2005
Juicy Cerebellum
This one's so bad it's good, but not so good that I'd say that it isn't bad.
April 01, 2003
EmanuelLevy.Com
Sidney Lumet's all-black musical, starring Diana Ross, is a failed effort to transfer the setting of the Judy Graland musical to contempo Manhattan.

Kalamazoo Gazette
Flat-footed screen version of a jubilant show; a miscast mess, sad to say
