Poor-but-happy farmers vs. the IRS,
By
This review is from: Mating Game (DVD)
The corn grows high and the cheese is stinky in this silly comedy about the joys of poverty and the dangers of money. A large family (think: Ma and Pa Kettle) lives on a squalid farm next to a snooty landowner who wants them out, so he gets an IRS man (Tony Randall) to investigate the family's back taxes. When the agent falls for the homespun charms of the oldest daughter (Debbie Reynolds), a happy ending is guaranteed.Talk about Hee Haw Gone Wild...the improbable pairing of ever-bouncy and man-hungry Reynolds with über-nerd Randall is way off-base. He's good as always but she's annoying and they have no chemistry. Paul Douglas, as her father, doesn't look or act like the yokel he's supposed to be. His never-ending platitudes about being happy without money get old fast and plot holes in the script abound. I can see this being a hit in 1959, with less sophisticated and demanding audiences, but for me it's just a tedious story that resorts to slapstick and animal mating jokes for humor.

THOSE FABULOUS FIFTIES!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mating Game (VHS Tape)
A slightly risque farce [for that time] about Tax Guy Tony Randall investigating 'unpaid taxes' [something about the Civil War] and spending some time on the Larkin farm with young Debbie and the rest of the brood. Oh, there's just something about that fresh country air! Tony Randall says volumes with just a gesture here and there but keep away from the moonshine - that's when things really become complicated, and he is not quite sure, or cannot quite recall just what happened in the barn......was it?Great support from Paul Douglas and Una Merkel as Pa and Ma Larkin. Truly a great romp on the widescreen with Debbie Reynolds - always providing the fun! Quite a joy on a gloomy day! Great double-bill with Debbie as "Tammy" [the one and only original!].

Debbie Reynolds...she made the movie worth seeing!,
By TWChop@aol.com (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mating Game (VHS Tape)
I was just a teenager when I saw this movie, when it first came out. I loved it. I fell in love with Debbie Reynolds...but so did most of the guys my age back then. Tony Randall was great! It is a very old fashioned movie, one that made you laugh, and in the end one that made you feel good. We need more movies like that today. I have to say, being able to own the movie myself, and being able to watch it again, will be great. I'm going to order a copy...but, don't count on being able to borrow it, I'm going to be watching it too much, and then having my children watch it, too. They are going to love it, just like me.
