Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

dal49 Generally, I like old movies. I particularly like movies with Charles Coburn. He is one of my favorite character actors. And with a cast that includes Ginger Rogers, Jimmy Stewart, and Beulah Bondi, I expected this movie to be very enjoyable. But this is a horrible movie. Not funny, not entertaining, and the character played by Charles Coburn is actually very cruel. And Jimmy Stewart's character is a spineless weakling. This is the worst Jimmy Stewart movie I have ever seen. That is all I have to say. I will fill out the review with bad, bad, bad..

Martin Bradley The brightest comedienne of the 1930's and the greatest actor who ever worked in any genre working together at the top of their game in a film directed by one of Hollywood's finest directors, at least until he started to take himself seriously as 'an artist'. Yes it's Ginger Rogers and Jimmy Stewart in George Steven's comedy "Vivacious Lady". It should be a classic but actually it's not that well-known, more's the pity. He's the professor and she's the showgirl he marries after just meeting her, (the way they do in the movies). The fun starts when he brings her home to the small college town where he works, all the while finding himself unable to tell his folks they're married. Beulah Bondi is the mother, Charles Coburn is the father and James Ellison is the cousin whose girl she was until she married Stewart. If it's not quite great screwball it is still very funny and is ripe for rediscovery. Check this one out.

calvinnme ...because your whirlwind courtship may not be the whole truth.The small university in the town where the Morgans live is practically a cottage industry for the family where Peter Morgan, Sr. (Charles Coburn) is university president, and his son Peter Jr. (James Stewart) is associate professor of botany being groomed to be president like his dad someday. Peter is sent to New York City by his dad to retrieve his cousin Keith who has taken up with a dance hall performer (Ginger Rogers as Francey). Keith sets up Peter to be embarrassed with a dirty trick that backfires and Francey and Pete hit it off and leave the dance hall to get to know each other.Pete and Francey spend the entire night walking the streets of New York, even bonding over corn on the cob in the park in the middle of the night. Not even Rudy Giuliani could ever dream of a New York this safe. They eat breakfast together and get married that morning. The chemistry between Rogers and Stewart is electric, and that may be because they had been an item in real life or maybe it was just because they were great actors, but it is palpable to anybody who can see. When they look into each others' eyes it is like they are mutually hypnotized.So Peter, Francey, and Keith come back on the train to New Sharon, and Pete plans to tell his parents right away...BUT...the train is met by Pete's dragon lady of a presumed fiancée, Helen (Frances Mercer), picked out by Pete's dad. In fact she is like Pete's dad in every way as far as being a dominating personality. Days drag on, and every time Pete plans to tell his parents something happens - usually some comic misunderstanding or it is just Pete Sr. talking over and walking on his son like he has done his entire life. The impression the family gets is that because Francey gets off the train and goes off with Keith is that she is the dance hall girl in question and Keith has dared to bring her back with him.Francey tries to be a good sport about all of the delays and misunderstandings but eventually she comes to the conclusion that the man she loves is a wimp who cannot stand up to his own father. It would be easy to just take her side and be mad at Peter for not being his own man, but Stewart plays the part very sympathetically. After all, he's been under dad's thumb for 26 years and only married for a few days.How will this all work out? Watch and find out. Beulah Bondi is endearing as Peter's mother who likes Francey from the beginning, as they share a split cigarette in the ladies' room, even before she knows who she is.

princebansal1982 I read a couple of bad reviews for this movie. But as I started watching it, I liked it. James Stewart and Ginger Rogers were both doing a good job and I really liked Stewart's character. But the movie went nowhere. It is just a one joke movie that is extended painfully long. It like a chewing gum really. You enjoy it in the start, it has good flavor. But as time goes on it becomes bland and then finally it seems to use up all the moisture in your mouth making it dry.A pity really, because with a good plot they could have been able to make a fine movie.
