Steve D Some amusing bits but not enough. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Bob Hope is just a naturally funny person. His demeanor and expressions, along with his delivery are just timeless. But, he can only do so much when the material is poor. Such is the case with "I'll Take Sweden". Hope plays a single father who doesn't much care for the young man (Frankie Avalon) his daughter (Tuesday Weld) is dating. In order to get her away from him, Hope takes a promotion at his job that will send him to Sweden. It works. They move clear across the world and his daughter starts seeing someone who he feels is respectable. The entire movie is pretty far-fetched and not even Hope can deceive us that the jokes are in the slightest bit amusing. Weld an Avalon are appealing, but they are let down by the script that feels as though it wasn't even quite good enough for an episode of "Father Knows Best." Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member predictable rom com crafted around the talents of bob hope Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A totally corny film, with elements resembling the beach movies, only without Annette. These movies are a kind of guilty pleasure for me, though this is not the best of the genre. Bob Hope is always interesting, though not in top form by any stretch. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Bob Hope is a one line firing machine in this typical sixties comedy. I'll have more to write on this fast paced parent's dilemma. Bob Holcomb (Hope) will do anything to stop his daughter JoJo (Weld) from tying the knot with her lazy boyfriend (Avalon), even move her all the way to Sweden! Director Fred De Corva went on to manage Johnny Carson's The Tonight Show.
