Wendy Michener Maclean's Magazine The picture already seems like last year's movie, and in a way it is. The match-making plot is taken from an earlier housingshortage comedy called The More The Merrier. Even Cary Grant is a disappointment. Jul 16, 2019 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com At 62, Cary Grant made his last film in this amiable comedy, a loose, weaker remake of George Stevens' 1943 The More the Merrier. Rated: B Jul 29, 2012 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Agreeable fluff romantic comedy. Rated: B- Mar 14, 2010 Full Review Steve Crum Kansas City Kansan Cary's last hurrah is pretty funny. Rated: 4/5 Oct 25, 2004 Full Review Carol Cling Las Vegas Review-Journal Rated: 4/5 Aug 13, 2004 Full Review Ken Hanke Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Tepid remake of The More the Merrier makes an unassuming swan song for Cary Grant.

Liam D The last film to ever star Cary Grant. It’s a very standard Romcom but the cast shine with their chemistry Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/28/24 Full Review Chett T "Walk Don't Run" is a delightful classic that gracefully blends comedy, romance, and charm. Set against the backdrop of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, this film takes you on a heartwarming journey of unexpected connections and blossoming relationships. Cary Grant's impeccable performance as the witty British businessman, Sir William Rutland, adds sophistication and wit to the storyline. The film's refreshing premise is driven by the entertaining dynamic between Rutland and Samantha Eggar's independent and spirited character, Christine Easton. As the two strangers find themselves sharing an apartment during the housing shortage, their interactions evolve from amusingly awkward to irresistibly endearing. Richard L. Breen's direction brings a touch of whimsy to the plot, perfectly capturing the cultural nuances of Tokyo while also subtly addressing societal norms of the time. The clever screenplay keeps the audience engaged, and the charming chemistry between the lead actors makes their burgeoning romance feel authentic and heartwarming. "Walk Don't Run" is a timeless gem that transcends its era, leaving audiences with a sense of nostalgia and a warm, radiant smile. Its gentle humor and poignant moments provide a welcome respite from modern-day complexities, making it an insightfully refreshing cinematic experience for all. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/06/23 Full Review lanfranco c When love blooms in Japan, despite everything. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I love all Cary Grant movies and loved this last one I felt he was relaxed and just enjoying himself while performing Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review steve d A disappointing end for a legend. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review s r A silly romantic comedy. Some good moments, but a bit far fetched at times. Extra half star for the setting in Japan during the olympics.
