🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its comedy from the clash between Sweedie's ambitious goal and the utterly domestic, farcical means she employs to achieve it. It relies on silent-era physical humor and exaggeration to portray her stubborn dedication.

What lingers after viewing is a charming snapshot of naive perseverance, where the biggest stunt is turning a bathtub into a vast sea. — MovieFinder Editorial
