Critic Reviews

  • Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com

    There's no chemistry between Gable, who's twice as old than love interest Sophia Loren in this lukewarm, utterly predictable culture clash comedy.

  • Scott Weinberg, DVDTalk.com

    It's a quaint and pretty old movie, to be sure, but it's also more than a little boring.

  • David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews

    ...an aimless, thoroughly predictable waste of time masquerading as a romantic comedy.

  • Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com
