Let's Get Married: A B-Movie Romp That Forgets Its Own Plot

Is it worth your time?

Honestly, only if you have a thing for 1930s dialogue that moves at the speed of light. If you like classic comedies, you'll probably enjoy the breezy energy. If you need a movie with actual stakes or a plot that makes sense, you're going to hate it. It's the kind of film that disappears from your brain the second the credits roll.

Ida Lupino is honestly the only reason to sit through this. She carries an entire movie’s worth of personality on her shoulders while everyone else just bumbles around. She’s too sharp for this script, but she plays the role like she’s in on the joke.

Ralph Bellamy plays the weatherman, Kirk. He’s essentially playing the guy who gets the girl by being nice and slightly awkward. It’s a role he could do in his sleep, and sometimes it feels like he is.

There’s a weird moment where the political maneuvering gets so convoluted I stopped paying attention entirely. I think someone was trying to win a primary? Or maybe they were just talking loudly in a library? It doesn't really matter.

The pacing is a bit of a mess. One minute we're at a high-stakes political dinner, and the next we're watching some goofy invention scene that feels like it wandered in from a different movie. It feels like the writers got bored and just shoved the first thing they thought of into the script.

• The lighting in the office scene is weirdly harsh, like they were using a flashlight.
• The background extras in the rally scene look like they were told to stand still for five hours straight.
• Walter Connolly is shouting almost every single line. I checked my volume three times.

If you've seen something like The Last of Mrs. Cheyney, you know the vibe. This one is just a bit less polished and way more chaotic. It’s not a masterpiece, but it’s got a weird, frantic charm to it. Sometimes that’s enough for a rainy afternoon.

It’s the kind of flick that feels like it was filmed over a long weekend. You can almost hear the director yelling, "Just keep moving, we're out of film!" It’s not great, but it’s not trying to be. And really, who can be mad at that? 🍿
