🎬 MovieFinder's Take
They Knew What They Wanted has mixed reviews with a rating of 5.8/10. Good for a relaxed evening without high expectations.
Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.
A classic from 1940. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
