Critic Reviews for Theodora Goes Wild
All Critics (2) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (1)
Theodora goes silly rather than wild in this outdated look at how they made comedies back then.
January 7, 2007 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…
Great screwball comedy about the transformation of a plain and repressed girl (splendidly played by Irene Dunne) into an eccentric and loving woman.

Audience Reviews for Theodora Goes Wild
A cute film about the impact of the writing of racy novel on a small town and the town's reaction to the surprising author. Little more than cute though.
