A classic submitted by gardenfaerie on June 24, 2017, 6:07pm Love, love, love this movie. Very funny and highlights the importance of ditching the rat race.
This is one of my favorite movies. Even tho it was a play, and sometimes the acting is a little "big". submitted by lisa on July 23, 2018, 12:08pm But it's so sweet. And Edward Everett Horton!
Charming and funny, a true classic, even though it kind of fizzles towards the end. submitted by Tassos on March 15, 2020, 9:36am Fun to watch from beginning to end. Excellent script and dialogues, good acting.
Must watch
submitted by Will O on August 30, 2020, 10:47am
So much story is crammed into a one hour amd thirty five minute movie. All the characters are incredibly well drawn and fully fleshed out and while we've seen the whole guy-falls-for-sister-of-woman-he's supposed-to-marry before, the charm and chemistry between Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn is incredible.
At its heart this movie from over 80 years ago is still just as relevant as ever. Do you chase your happiness and find your joy, or go for easy money that leaves you cold and devoid of warmth?
A fun and funny movie that doesn't lack sadness it's a must watch for any fans of good movies.
