Movie Reviews of Twentieth Century
Movie Review: beg to differ--disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
I had high hopes for this film. I love Carole Lombard--Barrymore, Connolly and Hawkes too. But for me, this screwball comedy/farce seems dull and dated.
Lombard is well below par, certainly nothing compared to her work in My Man Godfrey. And unlike Lombard's chemistry with William Powell (her ex-husband in real life)in that film, here she seems to have none with Barrymore.
Barrymore has some good ham moments, as do Connolly and the other sidekick. As a whole, a long 90 minutes, with lots of painfully obvious "humor".
For all the positive reviews here, I think smarter comedies of the period--like My Man Godfrey, The Lady Eve and Philadelphia Story--hold up better today than this one.
