PUNQ

Rated 29 Apr 2017

Tries it's best to be comically charming with a married couple going through problems, and it is cute in it's way without really getting the good laughs. Emma Dunn as the battle-axe mother-in-law was the most accomplished character. Lucille Ball didn't get to be Lucille Ball enough, having to tone down her act for James Ellison to try and get his bashful husband act down. Unfortunately it was too uneven. Robert Coote did a decent Brit. Alright time filler.
