Audience Reviews

Sarah D Fantastic comedy! I watch it a couple times a year. Screwball comedy. Akin to Bringing Up Baby and The Awful Truth. You can’t miss with a Grant/Dunne movie. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Jess One of my favorite movies of all time. Does it make a lot of sense…no. Is it realistic…absolutely not. But I could watch anything with Cary grant and Irene Dunne. Together they're perfection Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/24 Full Review Mike F This was a fun movie I really enjoyed the tension experienced by Cary Grant when he realized the wife he thought was gone for 7 years in fact survived and showed up at his home with his new wife. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/31/23 Full Review fred j Good premise, great cast, but after a while it goes nowhere and really starts to drag near the end. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Michael M My Favorite Wife is a charming and inoffensive comedy with a strong cast, but it is held back by lost comedic opportunities, pacing issues, and noticeable plot holes. It definitely falls short of other Cary Grant comedies of the period (for instance, Arsenic and Old Lace), but it is a perfectly fine film to watch on a cold, rainy evening. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/22 Full Review paul d Garson Kanin's My Favorite Wife is a pleasant rom-com brought to life by its two leads. Irene Dunne has a sly twinkle in her eye for most of the film, and Cary Grant a beleaguered one in his. The film's charm was surely great in 1940, when its delicate and funny approach was one of the few ways to address taboo subjects such as extramarital sex and bigamy for a wide audience. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
