Critics consensus

“Flower Drum Song 's story may be somewhat skimpy, but this Rodgers and Hammerstein adaptation blooms with brilliant songs and choreography.”

RTBoston GlobeFeb 28, 2023

This is genuine holiday joy-making, and the Rodgers tunes give zip and romance to the film.

J

John L. Scott

RTLos Angeles TimesFeb 28, 2023

The plot is flimsy, but it serves as an adequate framework for the bright dances and some clever songs.

M

Myles Standish

RTSt. Louis Post-DispatchFeb 28, 2023

Breezy, appealing, splashy with color, wistful on occasion, and embellished by the tuneful score.

Louie Robinson

RTJet MagazineJan 16, 2024

The songs, by Rodgers and Hammerstein, are the show's best insurance, but a brilliant cast... handles this delicate bon bon of a story with all the sensitivity, wit and understatement that it deserves.
