This movie tends to go fast. Some parts I don't get, and some as to "why did they even put that scene in?". This movie doesn't seem to really have a plot/climax. I don't understand what the root of the movie is supposed to aim for. To gain money since the two are broke? Scam people? It feels like they had maybe a story goin on up until the very end where they're like "we're running out of money and film...splatter last min ideas so we can wrap this up". Sylvia falls in love with 2 dudes and runs away with crush with and grant falls for michaels girlfriend. Dad is manic and dies off cliff, Michaels girl goes into the ocean, grant saves her, they run away with each other, Sylvia and Michael run to them and then kiss and that's it? I can see why it was a flop. It's confusing and seems fast idea'd. I loveeee Grant movies and I understand this was one of his firsts but this wasn't a strong one for my boo. Even though this opened the door to other opportunities. Katherine Hepburn looks hella fine as a guy! Short hair! She once again plays a part that goes against social norms: cross dressing and even a kiss from step mother. I love the actors but the movie didn't do them justice. But I'm happy it didn't sink their careers unlike how a lot of other movies would with a movie that was to as bad! They came back around and made Philadelphia story and that seems to blow this movie away with bad story line, not bad acting, just bad story line.
