Movie Reviews

Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Dave KehrWhile it's pleasant enough, the freshness is definitely off the bloom.
Reel Film Reviews - 6/10 by David Nusair...benefits heavily from Grant's charismatic presence...
EmanuelLevy.Com - 6/10 by Emanuel LevyGarson Kanin is not Leo McCarey, who was originally assigned to direct this screwball comedy, reuniting Cary Grant and Irene Dunne (Awful Truth), but he has made a well acted, decent, and enjoyable film.
Time Out - 6/10 by Derek AdamsA relatively formulaic (though beautifully produced) bedroom comedy...
Sarasota Herald-Tribune - 4/10 by Christopher LloydNowadays, we would call this the purview of a low-rent TV sitcom. Watching it play out 70 years earlier with top-flight stars doesn't make it any more palatable.
User Review - 10/10 by Jakki JDunne and Grant were teamed many a time, but this film seems a bit broader, and filled with moments where you have to suspend your disbelief, including Dunne's tragic circumstances, and Grant's state of marital contentedness. It's all lovey dovey and amazingly sweet, but it specifically works because the two compliment each other with their zany antics and wanton disregard for lack of wit and candor.
User Review - 10/10 by Denver ROne of my favorite Grant-Dunne films, Cary Grant always shines when he's flustered and frustrated, and always remains handsome and graceful...even when falling down!
User Review - 10/10 by Asha MIrene and Cary are dynamite in this film! LOVE LOVE LOVE!
User Review - 10/10 by James H100/100. The is one of the greatest romantic comedies of all time, everything comes together perfectly - direction, screenplay, score, cinematography and the cast, and what a terrific cast. Irene Dunne and Cary grant are excellent, the supporting cast is outstanding, especially Gail Patrick, Granville Bates and Donald MacBride. Randolph Scott is well cast. Nominated for three Oscars, original screenplay, original music score and for art direction. There are so many memorable scenes and it is often laugh out loud funny. A great and unforgettable classic.
