IMDB

Cary Grant stars as an adman who wants to get out of the city and his tiny apartment. He and his wife decide to move to Connecticut. They get a fixer upper on 35 acres (more or less) and are soon running into one problem after the next.
This film was pretty good, but it wasn't as funny as I expected considering its classic comedy status. It's definitely worth watching and has a classic premise that has been redone quite a few times. It should also be noted that there is a remake that stars Ice Cube, the modern day Cary Grant.

6.5/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
