CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

goatprairie Sorry, no laughs in this flick. Is it possible to watch a whole movie and not find one thing worth laughing at? This movie was made at the height of the I Love Lucy TV popularity. I'm sure the Arnazes thought they could crank out a movie quickly and make a bundle. With their names changed slightly (Ricky is Nicky and Lucy is Tacy) the "plot" such as it is revolves around them buying a trailer and going on a honeymoon trip with the thing. Lots of "merriment" ensues. You'd never guess that things weren't going to go wonderfully. What a shock when accidents happen. Yes, I was a huge Lucy fan way back when. Many of the I Love Lucy TV shows are still funny. This movie isn't. They use every stale gag in the book. The only thing I found interesting was the vehicles in the movie. And the movie was in color. Skip it unless your idea of funny is somebody falling into a swimming pool. Which thankfully doesn't happen in this movie.

Applause Meter Lucy and Ricky are on the road. Oh, yes they're on the lam, fugitives from Manhattan and hiding out from Fred and Ethel, taking on the new identities of "Nicky" and Tacy." But they can't fool us. It's the Ricardos up to their old tricks, furious and fast. They're newlyweds and Tacy subjects them both to a honeymoon of horrors as they start on the road of life. Tacy empties "the rocks in her head" and keeps them as mementos of their trip, stashing them in the trailer, weighing it down, courting the disaster of an over-weighted trailer collapsing on the road and tilting over a cliff and into a ravine. Tacy loves Nicky's "elegant " nose and cooks him, or tries to cook him, elegant dinners within the minuscule trailer kitchen. Of course this provides a comic set-up, literally, at full tilt, as food, utensils, and everything not nailed down swoops down all over the place. No matter, nothing, but nothing will dampen Tacy's enthusiasm for trailer life. Her wifely responsibility is to take care of her new husband. She tells him that when she first met him, she almost teared up, she felt so sorry for him because he was out in public with a button missing from his shirt. He needed a woman's care. More specifically, the tender care of a madcap like her. This is pretty much the duo you see on the classic "I Love Lucy" TV shows. If you love them there, you'll love them everywhere. Even in this movie.

jacklmauro As a movie, it ain't much. As a period piece and as a comfortable, non-demanding foray with the royal couple of entertainment at the apex of their reign, it's delightful. The ease with which Lucy and Desi play off of one another is by now well-established and, as in the TV show, the honest-to-God intensity of their relationship fuels mediocre material. The movie is breezily watchable, and that's all. But most striking of all is how this film is quintessential 1950's America, or at least how it was supposed to be. With director Minnelli's trademark candy box visuals adding to the effect, TLLT is more redolent of the Eisenhower epoch than the Douglas Sirk (sp?) films with Hudson and Wyman. Plastic was wonderful, women were forever in pounds of make-up and flouncy skirts, and everything was kitsch and embraced as real. God bless it.

reaghcharles I know many many of you say towing a big trailer such as a 32' or 40' is impossible or hard to do with an old 125hp car or anything of the likes, But I have found out first hand through my grandfather, that it is entirely possible, the cars were made out of solid metal, not as heavy as the trailer but still a solid "brick", we used a 1958 caddy to tow a 40' detroiter that was made in about 1956, we had little problem hauling that thing, I mean other then not being able to really see anything behind or beside the trailer.To this day I personally own those 2 vehicles and regularly travel with them both, the engine of course needs matence every few hundred miles (just like in the movie), but she runs sound.
