Leave your thoughts about Kiss and Make-Up.
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid NusairAside from Grant's typically charming performance, Kiss and Make-Up has exceedingly little to offer most viewers... |
| User ReviewKim BCorn beef and cabbage I love you! Cary is delightful and he sings. What could be better? |
| User ReviewMary RI love this movie. It's a great screwball comedy and it's making me smile just thinking about it. |
| User ReviewPaul Dgood com-dram and the least known cary grant pic, for me anyways |
| User ReviewAj VA hilarious and fun movie with Cary Grant and Edward Everett Horton, who are really funny and give great performances. It's essentially a story of being careful of what you wish for. |
| User ReviewCaitlin RI love this movie because of the singing. You should see it just for the corned beef and cabbage song. |
| User ReviewDaniel K3: Hmm. Not exactly a feminist film. It includes a few rather interesting views on the nature of love, marriage, beauty, etc. All the women are either chasing after men or silently pining after them. They all seem to want surgery or beauty products and be happy to tease once they are assured they are desired by the opposite sex. The men seem to want their women beautiful, but not too beautiful, because then the husband would be afraid of losing their wife when they realize they can do better. As I write this, I'm not sure how different these aspects are from most films. It's all in the tone I guess. You'd have to see it. It does seem to be a bit ahead of its time in some ways. The story is bit ridiculous, as screwball comedy types are from this era, but it's carefree and lighthearted enough to be quite entertaining. The story drew me in just about from the start. It's essentially impossible not to root for the secretary. Comedies like this were simply churned out in their heyday, but most didn't have a star like Grant. It's always interesting to see where stars started. It'd obviously Grant, even if he is a little less polished and confident. The chase sequence at the end is great, ether, multiplying rabbits, toupee and all. |
| User Reviewjay nRather ridiculous early Cary movie. He's slick, maybe a little too slick but still charismatic even if he hadn't fully settled into his persona yet. |
| User ReviewCurtis HThis movie is one of the worst films ever made. Cary Grant gives a disapointingly schtick performance with no real motivation, and as for the story, it was probably written by a guy in one night, with very little thought preceding the creation. One bonus is you get to see Cary Grant sing, but the jury is still out on whether or not that really is a bonus. |
