Review of She Wouldn't Say Yes

I would agree that most of this movie is a bit stale, but if the entire movie had had the same energy as scenes 8 and 9 this would be remembered as a great screwball comedy. Those scenes have the perfect set-up that Bogdonovich has stated make screwballs work. That is the characters are acting normal and logical to themselves but we know what the characters don't. There are so many characters involved in these scenes but the dialog remains logical. The writing in these scenes is superb. The character progression of Dr. Lane is the major impediment to this movie. As others have said, it's not realistic that she falls in love at the end. If she had slowly thawed over the course of the movie it would have been better.
