Dennis Harvey 48 Hills All this is meant to be daffy and charming, rich people misbehaving in deluxe settings as in most screwball comedies. But frankly it's kinda gross... Apr 10, 2021 Full Review Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine I don't know why it's called Love Before Breakfast, as there wasn't much love in it and no sign of breakfast. Aug 6, 2019 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews It's worth seeing only because Lombard is worth seeing. Rated: B- May 24, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Steve D Lombard makes it a lot of fun. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/06/24 Full Review Audience Member This movie starts by giving Carole Lombard a black eye, and doesn't improve from there. Lombard is always worth watching, but her leading man, Preston Foster, lacks charm, and while the story has a few funny moments, there is a rather nasty, sexist undertone. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A cute little comedy that's held up by Carole Lombard! It's quite a funny movie! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Top notch film. I laughed out loud a number of times during this movie. Carole Lombard was perfect. Perfect casting in this film as well. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
