Movie Reviews

New Yorker - 10/10 by Pauline KaelIt's a bit much, but it works like magic. The cast could hardly be better
Village Voice - 10/10 by Nick PinkertonFitting such a democratic film, there's no bad part here...
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 10/10 by Ken HankeAlways charming without becoming gooey or cloying.
Film and Felt - 8/10 by Gabe LeibowitzAlternately charming and deeply touching.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzThe film's main asset is the strong comical performance of Charles Laughton as the straitlaced and very proper English butler Marmaduke Ruggles.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 7/10 by Emanuel LevyCharles Laughton gives a splendid performance as a servant who quickly adopts the American Way of Life in Leo McCarey's savvy political comedy of 1935, a banner year for the Brit thespian in which he was also nominated for Mutiny on the Bounty.
User Review - 10/10 by Win MProbably one of the ten or twenty best comedies ever made. Such a shame it's almost impossible to get ahold of on home video and has never been put on DVD. Reason enough on its own to buy a laserdisc player.
User Review - 10/10 by Dena SA wonderful comedy and the best kind of pro-American propaganda, an homage to egalitarianism that hits all the right notes. Laughton surprises in a wonderful comic performance that includes a tear-jerking recitation of The Gettysburg Address. I was set to be disappointed because I'd waited so long to see this and heard so many raves, but I wasn't. An awfully good movie.
User Review - 10/10 by Diana WSmart Patriotic Whimsical Historical Upstairs Downstairs without all the melodrama, spiced with sarcasm and HEART.
