Critic Reviews
-
Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
A charming cast, headed by Tracy, Harlow, William Powell and Myrna Loy, elevates this screwball comedy, a typically glossy MGM fare of the Depression era.
-
Matt Brunson, Creative Loafing
Earns its keep simply for the moment when Loy, expecting Powell to describe her eyes in gushing terms, is instead startled when he remarks that they look like "angry marbles."
-
Mark Robison, Reno Gazette-Journal
The actors are game but the hijinks are too stilted and tame by today's standards.
-
Tony Whitt, Now Playing Magazine
A little gem of a movie that should have won an Oscar.
-
Jeremiah Kipp, Slant Magazine
Four classic comedy stars liven up a tepid affair...and a bland DVD package.
