      Steve D It has been done better...this year! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/13/24 Full Review Tom M Disappointing turn on the 'widow remarries but the spouse is still alive' comedy. The ending resolves nothing. 'My Favorite Wife' and 'Move Over Darling' are infinitely better. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/21 Full Review Audience Member An embarrassingly ridiculous movie that gets tiresome very quickly. A woman's supposed dead husband comes back a year later to find her remarried to his best friend and business partner Then the movie stalls and never moves on. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved the movie it was a funny, miraculous movie I loved the script and setting of the movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member if the three leading actors of "too many husbands" weren't of the calibur that jean arthur, fred macmurray, and melvyn douglas are, this could have been a real stinker, but the three of them bring non stop laughs and a good amount of charm. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member this might seem familiar cos cary grant irenne dunne vehicle with the same plot Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
