Seems like the thin man series has lost some of it's steam by the fifth, but at least it still has a bit of it's charm. The chemistry between Powell and Loy is just as good as ever, and I suppose it was written well enough, but it's really just the same old stuff rehashed.

Looked a little tired. But there were some fun bits: like Myrna Loy's attempt at a tail. Still, a bit too reliant on the dog act (thank God they didn't bring the kid along too...).

This was a slight improvement on the previous installment, as the humor surrounding the relationship with Nick's parents is consistently enjoyable. Otherwise, we get little variation from the pattern of these films, which work for what they are: enjoyable and increasingly disposable films that offer a few laughs, some intrigue, and a sweet marital relationship at the center of it all.

Least favorite Thin Man entry - possibly for a weird spanking moment in front of his parents, probably for a lack of Nick's binge drinking. Both are out of character.

Should have stuck with the martinis. Turning the series into a family 'meet the parents' scenario is lame, plus the mystery itself doesn't even try to be engaging.

Never really bad, but far from fresh.

We saw some of Nora's family in the second film, so it stands to reason we should see some of Nick's. It was good to leave the child out of this one and let Nick and Nora be a little more free.

Not The Thin Man at it's best, but you know William Powell & Myrna Loy have enough chemistry to make even the most mediocre mystery into a good one. And they did that here!

It is very interesting to see them, the urban socialite, in suburban America, giving us some more backstory, domestic moments and casual t-shirt looks! Their charisma is still intact, and the mystery is good, I really wasn’t expecting the twist
