Critic Reviews for Tammy and the Bachelor

To implement a plotline like this would take a skillful and charmingly stylized script and some sharp direction. But both are routine.

[A] modest but utterly charming piece of whimsy.

A "wholesome" but corny comedy-drama...

I liked this movie, it was fun. It's not great, but I liked it anyway.

Lovely, charming, clean comedy that doesn't insult your intelligence or run out of steam, etc. Why can't they make movies like this now?

Sweet film with Debbie exuding mountains of charm, while she's not the whole show it would be nothing without her. The theme song and her sweet if not terribly remarkable voice are a perfect match. The rest of the cast is fine with Leslie Nielsen young and strapping. Mildred Natwick is terrific as the slightly loopy Aunt Renie.
