Audience Member Whatever possessed Knotts to have anything to do with this distasteful movie? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member I was surprised to find this DVD in a thrift shop. I had not seen this movie since I was maybe 11. Still funny, about as risque as an episode of 'Love American Style'. Knotts is a likeable patsy and the women really were hotter in the '60's Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member A+++++++++++++++++++ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member The Love God? is hardly Knott's best vehicle, and in that sense is probably pretty unknown to most. But, it has a quirk and a charm that almost makes you like it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Probably Don Knott's funniest movie! It's just so abnormal and so akward it just works! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member I wouldn't say this is a great Don Knotts film but a good Don Knotts film.
