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... Go to Full Review Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine 08/06/2019
I don't know why it's called Love Before Breakfast, as there wasn't much love in it and no sign of breakfast. Go to Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews 05/24/2015

Steve D 01/06/2024 Lombard makes it a lot of fun. See more 11/27/2016 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. See more 03/14/2015 A cute little comedy that's held up by Carole Lombard! It's quite a funny movie! See more 06/29/2009 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. See more Read all reviews
