Bob Hope at His Timeless Best!
If you love to laugh...if you love TIMELESS comedy...THIS is a MUST HAVE!This is the best entertainer the world has ever seen...at least in popularity and comedy. It does not matter how many times I see this movie...I love it, and want to see it again and again. Never tire of it. It hearkens back to simpler, better times in America, stress free, when the only problems were the mysterious single guy down the street who unbeknownst to the neighbors...is a swinging sex expert novelist...living anonymously among them to do further research. Tim Hutton and other stars add their ingredients to a top notch classic sixties comedy in the realm of Doris Day, James Garner, Carey Grant.

Settling into suburbia without a clue of how to manage a household, this master of comedy shows everyone how funny everyday life can be. BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT!

Still Funny!
Even though this movie is a little dated, it's still really funny. I always liked this movie when it was on TV in the past, but I wasn't sure if I would still like it due to not seeing it for so long. I ended up loving this movie. Bob Hope's one liners & facial expressions are priceless. Bob plays a writer that must do research on the lives of couples living in the suburbs for a book in order to get money to pay off the IRS. Overall, it's a fun filled movie that's great to watch over & over again!

Pecky Cypress - it's all the rage!
From the stylish cartoon opening with the peppy Mancini Song, you know you're in for a fluffy treat.

The sets are wonderful (particularly if you are a fan of Mid-Century Modern, as I am) the dialog is sparkling, the characters are fun and the movie doesn't overstay its welcome. The plot stays true to Bob Hope movie formulas, so you know what's going to happen, but there are plenty of wacky hijinks along the way (the oversudsing washing machine, the trip to the supermarket) to divert you.

All in all, it's a fun trip back to a time when movie people could get drunk without the audience getting beat over the head with a moral message, and movie kids were just kids, without having to be either overly cutesy or annoyingly smartass. Definitely an asset to anyone's movie collection.
