UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

clairyhun Being a Marylin Monroe fan I expecting so much more from this film, and admittedly I barely read the synopsis as her being in it was enough for me to watch, however half way through I found myself pressing information on my remote control to find out what was going on, only to see it being described as a 'Romantic Comedy' I was so confused, not once had I laughed and I had yet to see any romance blossom between Marylin's character 'Cherie' and Don Murray who played an obnoxious cowboy called 'Beau' and who I can only describe as a deranged fool who basically began to stalk Marylin, and then even went as far as kidnapping her. Obviously the 50's were completely different to now, but even the dumbest person would not condone this man's behaviour. On occasions I began to zone out just imagining how this sort of film would go down in 2016, I mean there's even one scene where she speaks of marrying her cousin! I feel this fails to please me on a romantic level and if anything it just left me feeling sorry for Marylin's character, and not only that but I found myself becoming very angry just urging someone to punch 'Beau' in the face, so as you can imagine I wasn't best pleased with this crazy ending to a Disappointing film of it's time. I still love Marylin, however even her performance was ropey, her accent was inconsistent and like others have said, why was she so white?! This film left me feeling confused, uncomfortable and dissatisfied. It failed to give me that warm, fuzzy feeling you get after watching a 'romcom' so before you consider watching this, if you're looking for romance reach for something else!

jackasstrange And I mean it. *The acting is very good. Bo is supposed to be an obnoxious hick.* I don't get why it gets so many hate. I mean, just take a loot at it's message board. A lot of users talking about how 'obnoxious' this film is, and specifically how Bo's character was annoying. Well, the character is supposed to be annoying. He's a jerk, who had never been in contact with civilization before. As an ignorant, hick jerk, he doesn't understand that people need to respect the free will of others. The film isn't glorifying anything, and Bo ISN'T a bad person, he is only immature, and he definitely learnt his lesson in the end. Don Murray was also great in it. *Bland cinematography, just like many films from that same age.* I didn't like the cinematography, it just isn't advanced enough nor there is a lot of craft put on it. But compared to other films from the same age, it allows a deeper immersion of the modern viewer in the story so I give it kudos for that. There is a few awesome shots and a nice editing work, such as in the rodeo sequence, and the fight scene between the Bo and the bus driver. *Quite formulaic, but the story is enjoyable enough.* As I mentioned already, the film wouldn't show an ignorant hick as the character who is the bully if it had any intention of glorifying his actions. Is quite the opposite, actually. And I didn't find this film all that annoying at all. In the final 10 minutes there is a bit of insufferable melodrama, and is quite formulaic, but besides that, is enjoyable and even funny at times. "Conclusion:"  *Isn't what I would call "a good film", but is definitely the best film starring Marilyn Monroe ever made. At least, the less annoying one...*

gslzll3 I've read that many people consider this to be Marilyn Monroe's best performance. Although I don't agree that it's her best, she certainly did a great job with what she had to work with. In fact, I think she is really the only reason to watch this disappointing film.The story is obviously dated, but even in 1957 it seems like it would have come across as ridiculous. The script is mediocre at best and doesn't offer enough lightheartedness for a comedy. Don Murray, whom I haven't seen in any other pictures that I can think of, is too loud and quite obnoxious; really causing a person to want to plug their ears rather than listen to him any longer. He yells throughout most of the picture and his character is simply to dim-witted to be believable.Overall I was really let down by this film. Don't see it unless you like absurd, dumb, not very funny comedies.

PWNYCNY This movie departs significantly from the original William Inge script. The original play is a part drama/part satire on the nature of relationships and there are six principal characters: the chanteuse, the cowboy, the owner of the bus stop, the bus driver, the waitress and the older male customer. Plus the entire play is set in a diner. Joshua Logan takes this play and transforms it into a wide-screen extravaganza showcasing the looks and talents of Marilyn Monroe. If anyone has any doubts about Ms. Monroe's ability to act, this movie should dispel those doubts. She dominates the movie and is in almost every scene. Don Murray and Arthur O'Connell also give strong performances, but it's Ms. Monroe's movie all the way.
