🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Director Leo McCarey constructs a classic situational comedy, relying on impeccable timing and expressive silent-era performances. He explores the escalating panic around the dinner table, turning every glance and gesture into a source of laughter.

Those who tire of overly complicated plots will find joy in this straightforward, expertly executed farce. What lingers after the final gag is pure, unadulterated comic delight. — MovieFinder Editorial
