While this is marketed as a screwball comedy it's more of a drama with a zany family.Mary Boland as the Matriarch of this family easily is the best character and the most entertaining to watch.I really liked how the film portrays the family as at first weathering the Great Depression then succumbing to it.The struggles they faced while not fully fleshed out give a sense of the hardship they faced.The romance with Claudette Corbett and her suitor's were the weakest parts of this film.
