Nicholas Collini (Desi Arnaz) has to travel for his job as an engineer -- so his fiancée, Tacy (Lucille Ball), suggests that rather than buy a house after their wedding, they invest in a motor home so they can see the country together. But the aggravations of life with nosy trailer park neighbors and the dangers of piloting an enormous trailer across narrow country roads soon take their toll on the happy couple, putting their young marriage in turmoil.

Richard Brody The New Yorker [A] frenetic and intricate comedy... Jan 4, 2021 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Enjoyable, but I daresay it isn’t as funny as several dozen classic episodes of I Love Lucy. Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 17, 2023 Full Review Robin Holabird Robin Holabird The comedy [is] a hit. Unlike television sets of the day, film provided color and the chance to see Lucy's dynamic red hair. Aug 10, 2021 Full Review Michael E. Grost Classic Film and Television Strange, surreal film, notable for Minnelli's brilliant use of color and visual style. Aug 8, 2008 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com One of Minnelli's few broad comedies, more of a collection of anecdotes than a coherent tale, about the wacky misadventures of a middle-class couple (Lucille Ball and Dazi Arnaz) during a long cross-country trek. Rated: C+ May 12, 2007 Full Review Don Willmott Filmcritic.com doesn't earn a place on my DVD shelf next to my I Love Lucy collection Rated: 2.5/5 May 9, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Suzee Q One of the funniest movies I’ve seen. In addition it’s so fun to see the timestamp of how people dressed (very nice), the magic between Desi and Lucy and the magic of just a great comedic flick. One of my comfort go to movies. 🍿 It Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/03/25 Full Review Dave O One of my favorite films of Lucy and Desi’s Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Cleveland E Imagine the Lucy sitcom for 1.5 hours except with a terribly written script that contains few laughs. It is zany, ridiculous, and abundantly predictable. Desi's lack of acting skills are not well hidden. Apparently it was popular in its day, but it has not aged well. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/24/23 Full Review Barry T I'm watching it right now, and it's just as funny now as it was when I saw it many years ago. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/10/23 Full Review StephenPaul C LOL, the funniest 01 hour: and 36 minutes ever!!!!!!!!! Starring real-life Hollywood couple Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/23 Full Review CodyZamboni Z Amusing, There's one big laugh out loud moment, The disasters that befall Lucille and Desi ring true to life, Movie works best when it focuses on road travel stress and fustrations, that we all can relate to . Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/06/24 Full Review Read all reviews
