8/10
I Laughed Out Loud!
17 July 2020
I didn't know what to expect when I first started watching. Soon I was literally laughing out loud. Ronald Reagan is married (Ruth Hussey) with two children, one a teenage daughter the other a twelve yr old son. They all live together with his mother, who starts dating the towns grocer. Ronald Reagan starts behaving like a typical child who doesn't approve of his mother dating anyone but his deceased father of ten years. Oh, but wait...a love triangle ensues between this grandmother, the grocer and Ronald Reagan's boss. Their antics and jealous behavior is simply outrageous and hilarious. This love triangle between Spring Byington, Edmund Gwenn and Charles Coburn is so charmingly funny, being they're all in their sixties and behaving like teenagers in love. All of the actors are perfect in their roles and play their parts quite believable. I've seen them all in so many movies, yet I can't forget that Edmund Gwenn is really Santa....lol (Miracle on 34th Street).

This movie is in black and white, which I think ads to its charm. I highly suggest you watch this one.
