The Love God? (1969)
4/10
Not As Good As I'd Hoped It Would Be
19 August 2002
Unfortunately this is not one of Don Knott's better comedies. A lot of the jokes fall flat, especially the bird call jokes. I seriously doubt those were funny even in 1969. I love Don Knotts, don't get me wrong. I think the man is a great comedic actor and he does shine here, but the problem is he's the only thing that does really. The 'Icepick Charlie' character is the only other one with any charisma whatsoever. And what's with all the women-hitting in this movie? I'm no ultra-sensitive kneejerk reactionary but I found the three or four cases of men punching or slapping women to be unfunny and sadly out of place. It seemed they thought they'd get a cheap laugh. They didn't, at least not from me. See this only if you're a huge Don Knotts fan.
