TIME Magazine At 40, [Day] should maybe stop trying to play Goldilocks. May 6, 2013 Full Review Variety Staff Variety Send Me No Flowers doesn't carry the same voltage, either in laughs or originality. Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Tom Milne Time Out Probably the best of the Doris Day/Rock Hudson vehicles. Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Offers a few memorable scenes as well as another of Rock’s rock-solid comedic turns. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 27, 2023 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A tiresome tasteless conventional farce. Rated: C Sep 28, 2016 Full Review TV Guide The last and weakest Hudson-Day pairing is lame from the starting gate. Rated: 2.5/4 May 6, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

Steve D Ok only because of the cast. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/22/23 Full Review Nizar N Yet one more classic from Doris Day, Rock Hudson, and Tony Randall. It's creative, fun, witty, and the plot twists are unpredictable for the most part but at the same time not convoluted. Send Me No Flowers intelligently makes use of every moment and situation when it comes to comedy. There really should have been more movies from these 3 actors. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/22/23 Full Review Ryan B Funny, enjoyable, witty. A great movie to relax and enjoy. Nothing too heavy, just fun. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/07/22 Full Review Audience Member Rock Hudson and Doris Day are one of my favorite comedy pairings. This was their third and last movie together and it left me wishing they'd made many more. Apparently they were always looking for the next script but never found one they thought was funny enough. Rock Hudson takes center stage on this one and is a delight to watch. It's hard to believe this film is nearly 60 years old, the humor still feels so fresh. It's that comforting, friendly type of humor that helps you relax after a stressful day. Tony Randall doesn't get enough credit for his roles in all three Doris Day/Rock Hudson comedies. He's as funny as ever in this one as the best friend. Paul Lynde and Hal March are also very entertaining as a funeral director and a sleazy country club ladies man respectively. It rattles along at a nice snappy pace leading to a satisfying ending that left me feeling good for the rest of the evening. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review kevin w A hypochondriac sets about to ensure his wife's care after learning of his imminent demise ... only he's mistaken, he's not dying. Drawing room hijinks ensue, aided by the capable Tony Randall and Paul Lynde as supporting players. The focus though is on the chemistry between Rock Hudson and Doris Day, and this survives scrutiny easily as they were a likeable pairing. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Nearly a slapstick comedy with Doris speeding about in a golf cart & suggestively climbing through windows. With manly Rock having all the nervous ticks normally associated with one of Tony's characters. A very pleasant diversion! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
