Very sloppy screenwriting. For example the youngest daughter, you is not allowed to marry the man she loves because her father doesn't like the man's family. Solution: The daughter pours gas on herself and threatens to burn herself alive. The father agrees to the marriage.
Or the other daughter who doesn't believe in love goes with some friends to an island, which is off-limits to visitors because of wild animals. Just as they step off their boat, an alligator attacks and all leave again, leaving the girl behind. Hritik Roshan's character learns about this, travel himself to the island with a motorboat, finds the girl unconscious and brings her back to the boat. But when the motor doesn't start, he swims (!) back the whole way towing the boat, nearly dying doing this. This was the way for the screenwriter to motivate the girl to fall in love. Really lazy writing, in my opinion.
It gets better in the second half, but it does not save this movie. The actor playing the father does a great job though. And I love the Jim Carrey parody that Hritik Roshan does in a scene.

The Kid from Brooklyn, a review by GSyren

Title	The Kid from Brooklyn (Disc ID: 4315-C93A-675A-77AE)
Director	Norman Z. McLeod
Actors	Danny Kaye, Virginia Mayo, Vera-Ellen , Steve Cochran, Eve Arden
Produced	1946 in United States
Runtime	113 minutes
Audio	English Dolby Digital Mono
Subtitles	None
Overview
My thoughts	A lightweight comedy marred by some unnecessary musical numbers. The script is weak but the cast is strong. Virginia Mayo is as lovely as ever. Vera-Ellen is fine but underused. Gravely voiced Lionel Stander repeats his role from The Milky Way (1936), of which this is a remake. Now, I have nothing against musicals. In fact, I like them a lot. Providing the musical numbers are there to help the story along. I don't like them when the numbers seem inserted without any better reason than being time fillers. And that's what they mostly feel like to me in this movie. The story is amusing, but way too predictable to be great. This movie is worthwhile if you like Danny Kaye and Virginia Mayo. If not, you'll probably get bored quite soon.

Although Illyria rescues Gunn, Angel realizes she must be killed after her body begins a deadly physical breakdown which could unleash enough power to destroy the world.

Guest Stars:
Jaime Bergman
Jeff Yagher

My Thoughts:
I loved how this one began... I really got a kick out of how Illyria saved Gunn from the Hell Dimension. But over-all while a decent episode... it is not one I cared too much for.

My Rating:
