| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA zany comedy that fails to work, probably because it's so arch, resistible and contrived. |
| DVDTalk.comDavid CorneliusStupid when it needs to be smart, obnoxious when it needs to be charming. |
| User ReviewDebbie BWilliam Powell & Myrna Loy are the Ultimate Couple! |
| User ReviewBecca WMy favorite non-Thin Man Loy and Powell movie. |
| User ReviewGeorge FWe watched this film last night and We LOAO! I believe all the best character actors were cast in this film. A lot of sight gags at the end and dialogue that was very snappy! Love it! |
| User ReviewJo YI know some people say this isn't one of their best films, but I don't agree. It is a bit atypical for a Powell/Loy flick, but this makes me like it all the more. Also, Bill Powell's fiance at the time, Jean Harlow died during filming. Despite this, he hasn't lost his funny, charming screen persona. Oh, I find it strange that this movie is called "Double Wedding", yet nobody actually gets married, so it's kind of misleading. |
| User ReviewArianna CMy favorite non-Thin Man Loy and Powell movie. |
| User Reviewmonsieur rI enjoyed this movie it was really very funny. Powell and Loy are usually funny together, and they're good actors, so I highly recommend this movie. |
| User ReviewMichael GOne of the most fun screwball comedies I've ever seen. William Powell plays a bohemian wannabe director who gets involved with the little sister of Myrna Loy, a controlling amusingly neurotic businesswoman. A lot of fun moments lead up to 10 of the most chaotic and fun minutes I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. All "yumph", grasshoppers, gongs, big apes and the obscenely cute Myrna Loy. As good as Powell and Loy get without the words "Thin" and "Man" in the title. |
| User ReviewRichard SWacky, cute, and clever. Everything you want in a Powell and Loy film. |
