I seem to be one of the few people who has never, by some strange twist of fate, seen or read any other version of this movie. I fully intend to see the '52 version, however, just to get another shot at this comedy. I don't understand why it got such bad reviews; I'm not a big movie buff, and hadn't even heard of it until I wanted to go to the movies and we found it was the only thing playing at the time.
Boy were we lucky! The movie was wonderfully acted, and it just seemed to flow. The comedy was wonderful, witty, and refreshingly clean. It was wonderful to go to the movies and find something so hilarious and completely free of sex and dirty humor. Everet was as wonderful as ever, and Witherspoon was her usual gifted self; she plays such a wonderful character, so dreamy and head-in-the-clouds and completely sure of herself and her life.
I recommend this movie to anyone who wants a romantic comedy that will have you turning red in the face, trying not to laugh so you don't miss the next line. It's wonderful.
