| Common Sense MediaNell MinowWarm romance classic has realistic kid behavior. |
| User ReviewLinda SBrilliant love comedy! Cary Grant and Sophia Loren have chemistry! It is adorable! |
| User ReviewRomina AGreat movie, watched when I was much younger and it made me want to go and live on a houseboat. I don't know if this is true, but I either read or heard somewhere that the day they filmed the wedding scene was the day Sophia married Carlo Ponti. Poor Cary he was so in love with her. Imagine having to film a scene like that knowing that the person you loved had just married someone else. |
| User ReviewTeemu LVery funny physical humor and use of disaster. A widower with three kids is in way over his head. His son runs away the same night that Chincia (Loren) runs away from her controlling father. They become friends and the three children hire her to be their maid/ nanny. The problem is Chincia doesn't know how to do anything practical. The community rejects Chincia because she is foreign, even though she is fabulously gorgeous, cultured, and wealthy. I love how she threw a drink in a guy's face. A series of accidents throws Loren and Grant together. When they fall in love, the children are initially very upset because they loved her first. In the end, they become a family. |
| User ReviewWhitney Sa cute and funny 50's romantic comedy that makes yourself somewhat want to become a maid to three children on a houseboat. Great for a watch when not in the best mood |
