      ashley h Onionhead is a disappointing film. It is about a struggling college student decides to join the Coast Guard in 1941. Andy Griffith and Walter Matthau give terrible performances. The screenplay is badly written. Norman Taurog did a horrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review s r This one couldn't make up its mind as to if it were funny or serious. I fault the direction. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Tries to be funny. Griffith falls flat. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member a mix of 'no time for sargeants' and 'a face in the crowd' Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Andy Griffith plays a much more complex character than that of Will Stockdale in No Time for Sergeants and Felica Farr is quite enticing as Stella. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Without any doubt, Andy Griffith suffers the big TV hangover when it comes to his career beyond Mayberry. He's a much under-appreciated actor to be sure. He and Walter Matthau drinking together and "debating" the cinnamon roll problem makes seeing this one a must all by itself. Don't listen to the negative critics; see this one. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      John Bustin Austin American-Statesman This latest Andy Griffith outing is a particular disappointment, but no matter when it had come, it would have been just as disappointing. For as comedy, Onionhead is generally about as funny as a crutch and certainly no more inspired. Mar 23, 2022 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Andy Griffith and the other actors are decent, but the film is verbose, overlong, and lacks sufficient humor to qualify as comedy. Rated: C Oct 21, 2012 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: C Oct 21, 2012 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Can only achieve sentimental drivel and very little comedy.
