Nathanael Hood Nate Hood Reviews A raucously entertaining spitfire of a movie that barely clocks over 70 minutes, the film emulates the bourgeois gentility of classic screwball comedies while channeling the anarchic silliness of 1940s Hollywood comedies. Rated: 7/10 Jul 6, 2019 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Inane but enjoyable wartime screwball comedy about newlyweds whose honeymoon is ruined and saved by the groom's lovable scoundrel con artist father. Rated: B- Sep 11, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
