      Richard W. Nason New York Times To implement a plotline like this would take a skillful and charmingly stylized script and some sharp direction. But both are routine.

Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 13, 2024 Full Review Tom Vallance Radio Times [A] modest but utterly charming piece of whimsy.

      Audience Member Oh my this was so funny yes I highly recommend it James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas May 5, 2023 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/05/23 Full Review Tom M Debbie Reynolds is adorable as the bayou girl who falls in love with seemingly rich boy Neilsen. One of those movies where the simple country girl touches and teaches everyone she meets. Reynolds' rendition of 'Tammy' in the movie was #1 on Billboard charts for 3 weeks in 1957. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/16/20 Full Review Audience Member The best comedy romance movie ever made! With the best movie song ever sung: Tammy! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member A really nice wholesome movie. Debbie Reynolds is fantastic and Leslie Nielsen is plays a wonderful leading man. A truly great actor. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Old fashioned corny romantic comedy, but it has a great cast and it ends up working. I enjoyed it immensely. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member So corny that it ends up being really funny. Even spouse enjoyed watching it.
