A waitress in the Warner Bros. cafeteria, Judy Adams (Doris Day), is picked by actors Jack Carson and Dennis Morgan to star in their next picture. Several problems arise from the decision, though, specifically keeping Adams' true identity a secret by dressing her in various costumes to disguise her from the studio bosses -- and that Carson and Morgan are both falling for her. It's enough to make a small-town girl ditch her Hollywood dreams and go racing back home.

Bob Thomas Associated Press Its A Great Feeling is less than great, but ranks as good entertainment of a painless sort. Jun 19, 2019 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Never delivers a great feeling--settling instead for a pleasant one. Rated: C+ Dec 7, 2009 Full Review David Cornelius DVDTalk.com Well, it's just a good feeling, really, but that's close enough. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 20, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Rare T If this movie was bad, it wouldn’t have Doris Day in it, and that goes both ways; as in she wouldn’t show up in a bad picture, and at the same time her presence would better any picture. The quips are actually funny, and let’s not overlook all the cameos, most surprisingly from Joan Crawford. It’s a great feeling indeed. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/19/24 Full Review byron p It's a decent Doris Day movie but isn't one of her best, it's moderately amusing and definitely better than the current 31% audience rating. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review s r A fun one with a cameos galore. I like all the Wisconsin references. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is full of cameos from big stars. It also is a funny vehicle set for Doris Day!! You get to see Joan Crawford slap Jack Carson and Dennis Morgan and tell them that she does that in all her pictures! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member It's an... okay feeling. Lots of nice classic Hollywood cameos, but otherwise pretty unremarkable. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member all star cast make the most out of slim plot & story Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
