Ends up exactly where you think it will but that is half the fun of this movie. Grant is the man, I always enjoy watching that guy. He gives some of the best facial expressions ever. Great pacing and just the right length, a really enjoyable film. Check it out

I found the ending to be kind of sexy, even though it only alluded to what would eventually happen by way of the clock and Dunne's acting. In fact, I'd say the ending and it's excellent execution alone account for a few points of the score. Otherwise, Dunne seems to be a good find for me as she was great in this film and Grant, of course, is great. I loved his scene with the guard who tripped him. Excellent chemistry between the two leads, though the other characters weren't great.

Screwball comedy straight up. Delicious and hilarious.

This won an Oscar for best direction? Really? Grant and the cast are reasonably fun but this is far from one of the better screwballs I've seen. Overrated.

A flawless comedy. Cary Grant and Irene Dunne are marvelous together. I know of no other comedy--with the possible exception of "Bringing Up Baby"--in which wittily written dialogue seems so improvised and natural.

honestly, it's pretty contrived and predictable, but it's still very enjoyable. grand and dunne are always nice, but the real props go to a simply undeniably enjoyable story.

Certainly worth watching if you like romantic comedies. I don't care for them myself, thus the low score. Joyce Compton has a scene where her dress is blown upward by a gust of air from her dancing platform, predating Marilyn Monroe by a couple of decades.

I dunno... The Awful Truth is alright, but I'm just not a huge fan of Cary Grant's comedic films. They're just not particularly funny or engaging.

Cary Grant has quite a few rom-coms better than this one. Not bad, but pretty overrated.

One of the earliest true pearls of the genres (both romantic comedy and screwball comedy). A great influence on later classics (e.x. "Some like it hot"). Really enjoyed it.

One of the most charming films ever.

That one is really funny. Cary Grant and Irene Dunne play hilarious.

One of those films that's consistently very good, but never quite great. Dunne and Grant have some nice chemistry going on and are flawed but incredibly likable characters. The script isn't the tightest around, but it consistently delivers great lines that work very well with the actors. The story is relatively standard but still very enjoyable, as is the film as a whole.

Damn this is boring

Gag after gag and not one ever falls short thanks to brilliant performances from Grant, Dunne, and Bellamy.

Sheer brilliance. Irene Dunne and Cary Grant at their absolute best. I do feel sorry for the black cat who appears to have its paw superglued ( staple-gunned? ) to the door at the end ?!? Pure Joy !!

A superb movie, I far prefer this to "Bringing Up Baby," "It Happened One Night," or even "The Philadelphia Story." Along with "A Day at the Races," the highest scoring film of 1937.

A few funny scenes.
