★★★★★ · What an absolute delight that was! · kareneliot · 2010-10-24

I loved everything about this movie. It was terrific and an absolute DELIGHT to watch. It's a happy-ending screwball comedy romance. Kudos to the farmer, he's a hoot. She's beautiful, he's dreamy. They try to keep their identities secret... you know how that always works.... They keep getting into trouble/mischief together. She loves him, he loves her, and someone else loves her too. Her mother, sister, and knitting auntie are all whackadoos. The butler is a nutjob. How many servants do they really need dusting the house? That little sister, she was "corny" and had the best lines of anyone in…

★★★★★ · A bit too "corny" for my tastes... · Kodachrome · 2010-10-31

...but not the worst movie experience I have ever had. A well made P.R.C picture. I give the plot 3 stars, the acting 3 stars, and the storyline 3 stars. I give it a total of 5 stars, to mitigate the ill effects of the poo flinging primate.

★★★★★ · He walked into the Time of His Life · AnnSmithy · 2011-01-03

This movie starts out without a bang, but builds momentum of interest and delight. There are many witty things said that I didn't have time to absorb the first time but the second view I got it all in better and enjoyed it more each time I watched it. Its better the second time. I particularly liked the scene were the mother pushes the young daughter away and says "You irratate me!". This movie seems dull at the very first but only gets better and more clever as it goes. This is a winner.

★★★★★ · GIRL OF MY DREAMS · MOTARO76 · 2012-08-01

Kay Aldridge looks like "Girl of my dreams". If I would be on place of Dave O'Brien, I would never balk but immediately fulfil every her desire, though IRL I am head shorter and many times weaker as Kay, who was really tall and strong girl. Dave O'Brien is 6'3" and Kay is just a bit shorter (at least 6'). I can reach only to Kay's shoulders. But my will is more important, than my possibilities. It would be such a team job of repairing the car. She's very affectionate, thoughtful and loving girl and always ready to help me, when I can't make smth. Working with her would be a pleasure. I help…

★★★★★ · Wonderful! · 1897 · 2011-02-13

How is it that this gem is a B picture? Makes no sense! I enjoyed it from start to finish. A fun little picture with lots of charm and PERFECT casting.
