Merrily We Live

CriticsCritics: 73
AudienceAudience: 7.1

A scatterbrained society matron welcomes a shabby stranger into her wealthy household and hires him as the family chauffeur. As he navigates the eccentric family’s chaos, his charm catches the attention of the eldest daughter, sparking a lively romantic comedy filled with misunderstandings and slapstick.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like fast, eccentric screwball comedies such as Topper, but Not for you if you want subtle character drama, originality, or a tightly focused story.
