Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Kirpianuscus Irony. splendid performances. social critic. and a fairy tale. a film about people, perspectives, using a noble message and the right cast. and a brilliant script. in fact, a parable about selfishness and superficiality. special for the bitter humor and the impecable dialogues. and, sure, for the portrait of a familiar world, maybe too obvious but enough for succes to large public. the great virtue - maybe the performance of Will Powell and the adorable sweetness of Carole Lombard in two roles who are not real unique in the context of the cinema of period but who works in beautiful manner. and, maybe, that is the key for the seductive force of this old movie about money, family, society and ...love.

JohnHowardReid It seems superfluous to add yet another five-star review to those already published, but "My Man Godfrey" is a movie that grows on you. I didn't like it all that much when I first viewed it. In fact, I felt that the movie was showing its age and did not shine as brightly as on its first release. "In fact," I wrote, "the pacing is often rather slow, especially in Lombard and Powell's later scenes, most of them shot by producer/director La Cava in sustained, boring takes. In fact, Gail Patrick survives better than Lombard. True, the movie opens very promisingly and the acting throughout is very capable, although it's worth noting that comedians Palette and Mowbray are used as straight men to feed witty comebacks to Powell. The sets and costumes are delightful, the photography superb!" As the copyright has expired, the movie is now available on many DVDs. For some odd reason, the cheapest ones are often superior in quality to the more expensive!

tophkissane I really enjoyed this movie. It was funny and light hearted which i really love in a movie. It had some more serious social implications within it which is key to making a good movie but it didn't let it slow down the comedy, it used it to its advantage. It really makes fun of the dramatic upper class women of the time. I love the female leads, they are especially hysterical. What makes this movie great is a grounded story with a social note but a focus on great characters with fun personalities. The fast pace keeps the movie flowing and always entertaining even up till the end as things get more serious. Overall this is a great movie that is funny and goofy to no end, I would recommend.

Keith937 This movie has surprised me both times that I have seen it. It is by far my favorite movie that I have seen in my film class and one of my favorites in general. I loved the character interactions and personality's throughout the whole film. Godfrey himself was of course my favorite character in the film because of how funny he was and how many layers he has. In the beginning he just seems like a poor man found by a rich family but he ends up being the son from a rich family that wanted to live a humble life away from his family. This is a all around great movie that really doesn't have any problems that I can think of. I have always been a fan of romantic comedy and this one did not disappoint.
