| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzDated bucolic romantic comedy, with a few funny moments. |
| User ReviewAshley HThe IRS never bargained on the Larkin Family in this Delightful Tale about Love & Taxes, Country Style!!! Delightful |
| User Reviewjay nFunny romp. Debbie is her usual effervescent and charming self and Tony is the perfect male lead. |
| User ReviewNadine LThis is certainly a movie that will keep you entertained. Cute and funny. |
| User ReviewAllan CCorny but enjoyable bit of fluff about uptight IRS tax auditor Tony Randall being sent out to a rural farm family that hasn't paid their taxes in years. City boy Randall is a fish out of water, especially when he begins to fall for tomboy farm girl Debbie Reynolds. This film isn't quite as charming or bubbly as a Doris Day/Rock Hudson romcom, but it has that same kind of campy artificial charm. The main reason I watched this film is that the film features my all-time favorite character actor, William Smith, in an early role as one of Debbie's rambunctious brothers. This film would have been completely forgettable if not for the talents of Randall and Reynolds and those two are the only reason to go out of your way to watch this film. |
| User ReviewSharon PInteresting look at divorce in a different era. |
| User ReviewJames HThe cast makes this fluff enjoyable, particularly Tony Randall. Good production. Entertaining, but there isn't anything significant about the film. Good supporting cast. |
| User ReviewJennifer PA cute little romantic comedy where country meets city. |
