Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
To be frank, The Awful Truth is awfully unimportant, but it is also one of the more laughable screen comedies of 1937, a fairly good vintage year.

fresh:
Zappy, sophisticated screwball comedy with Grant and Dunne displaying perfect timing.

fresh:
Leo McCarey's largely improvised 1937 film is one of the funniest of the screwball comedies, and also one of the most serious at heart.
