7/10
Oh Betsy, what a cuteness!!
5 October 2019
I read a few reviews that made me sit down & review the movie myself. I am amazed by the number of people who did not get the dark humour in this picture. If the title hasn't been so suggestive, 5 min into the movie you would know that Annabel (played by an adorable Betsy Drake) is desperate to get her man (aptly played by Grant) so she could be settled. To get there, she is ready to do anything! Much of the movie's comic elements come from what Annabel does later. Her actions never seemed "creepy" as some put it, if anything, she was simply adorable in her "menouvres" as Grant put it. The most "violating" (for some of these audiences) of her actions (ie climax scene) at best looked harmless fun, if not, hilariously cute. And could anyone notice, not once Grant's character looked victimised or helpless. Funny that some viewers dont have the sense of humour the character had! My intention is not to discredit anyone of their ability to review a title but i would definitely not call it a disaster - that is going overboard. Its a good comedy with a few screwball elements and an insanely funny female lead. Enjoy it if you love those delightful Golden Age romcoms. I loved it! 7/10.
