Normally, I hate Lubitsch. I have to eat my words. Hot fucking damn. I am completely won over. Not *everything* works, but I laughed very often and very hard at this movie. I even applauded when she finally genuinely laughed. This is exactly the metric ton of charm and humor and joy for which Hollywood shoots every time it makes yet another romantic comedy with Sandra Bullock or Kate Hudson or whoever; usually, they fail so badly at it

So fucking pithy you'll want to drill a hole in the side of your head. Not that funny either. Is this sci fi? Am I watching androids? No, those aren't androids, they're Communists.

The thing about NINOTCHKA is that it describes itself. Quoth Garbo, it is "silly -- but wonderful." There's not much more to say. I take away one point only because there's one too many "I want to be alone" jokes. See it on as big a screen as you possibly can, the characters deserve to appear much larger than life.

What a wonderful picture. It is romantic, funny, and extremely edgy. The idea of conflicting romance because of opposing ideologies is seemingly blown out of proportion, but at the same time, it feels acceptable. Garbo is extremely charming, and seeing her crack a smile for the first time in the film made me smile.

Garbo is luminous, Douglas and Ina Clair are the hight of sophistication, and the three Russian comrades are endearing and very, very funny. A classic.

I wasn't entertained by the comic parts, the romantic parts quite bored me and the whole political atmosphere just felt out of place. Yet another movie meeting Hollywood's average for me.

A very enjoyable movie. The script is both funny and does a nice job jabbing Soviet Russia. Garbo is great.

The beginning was not that interesting and it took time to get to Ninotchka. But Greta Garbo nailed the role perfectly. The story ended up funny, interesting, and the knowledge of the Russian lifestyle was sharp and accurate. The twist from Russian to Western thinking happened a bit too fast, but actually it served the story well. Lots of witty details if you're familiar with Soviet lifestyle.

It's Greta Garbo's film, and she fantastically plays her character at the beginning but when she stops being cold and mean she stops being so graceful. That's the screenwriter's fault too, she's less lovable that way (she could be but she isn't) and her "change" isn't believable and pretty much out-of-nowhere, also because she falls in love with Melvyn Douglas who is quite obnoxious. Sometimes it felt a little bit like Capitalistic propaganda, too. Still, the whole thing is quite enjoyable.
