🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Director Alan Crosland constructs this romantic farce on the reliable foundation of maternal interference versus youthful passion. He explores the comedy of manners through a series of escalating deceptions and social blunders, relying on the cast's expert silent-era physicality and expressive glances.

Those who tire of modern cynicism will find charm in this predictable yet spirited battle for a daughter's hand. What lingers after the final reel is the pleasant simplicity of its cheerful resolution. — MovieFinder Editorial
