Outdoorsman-columnist Rock Hudson suddenly finds he has to live up to his reputation in this 1964 Howard Hawks comedy that's funnier than it has any right to be.
01/01/00
Here Hawks moves a little slower, cribbing some of his own early jokes, but still dead funny.

Cute Comedy
09/21/04
Hawks delivers his usual heavy-handed direction, but the film's premise is too flimsy to spread over two hours. The script is marred by tired comic routines and slow pacing.
05/13/08
Overly long screwball comedy from director Hawks who sticks to a formula he used better in Bringing Up Baby.
03/30/04
Matters are helped along somewhat by an attractive and spirited cast, but not enough to keep the film consistently amusing.
05/13/08
Man's Favorite Sport?, the film's theme song has it, is girls. It certainly is not originality or comedy.
05/09/05
Limp screwball comedy from the usually reliable Howard Hawks.
