Sounds like a disgusting loser flick. “Beaver Breath”? “No Bra”?

Uproariously funny...no.

I just watched “The Awful Truth” with Cary Grant and Irene Dunne. Now THAT is funny (and it was made 14 years before I was born). Where are the writers who could write like that?

If you want funny see “Comrade X” 1940 with Clark Gable and Hedy Lamarr.

The whole thing is a comic send-up of the Russian Communist state, a real hoot!

Fantastic dialog in the last scene of The Awful Truth. It was acted in the most casual and droll manner with Ms Dunne just cooing her lines in the sweetest voice imaginable...had me in stitches:

Jerry Warriner: In a half an hour, we’ll no longer be Mr. and Mrs. Funny, isn’t it.
Lucy Warriner: Yes, it’s funny that everything’s the way it is on account of the way you feel.
Jerry Warriner: Huh?
Lucy Warriner: Well, I mean, if you didn’t feel that way you do, things wouldn’t be the way they are, would they? I mean, things could be the same if things were different.
Jerry Warriner: But things are the way you made them.
Lucy Warriner: Oh, no. No, things are the way you think I made them. I didn’t make them that way at all. Things are just the same as they always were, only, you’re the same as you were, too, so I guess things will never be the same again.
