rotten:
High Society...is as flimsy as a gossip-columnist's word, especially when it is documenting the weird behavior of the socially elite.

fresh:
The two chief pleasures of High Society are the performances, which bring life and vitality to the characters, and the music, which makes this the kind of movie that never loses its appeal.
