This film starts with Andy Hardy returning home after serving in the army. And it's not too long before he's caught up in the usual Hardy capers. Mickey Rooney was a dab hand at portraying Andy Hardy by now though at 26, perhaps a little on the mature side for this role. That aside, this is a fine addition to the Hardy series with Lewis Stone, Fay Holden and Sara Haden reprising their parts in what would be the penultimate film of the series. Worth your time and check out that scene at the dance with Dorothy Ford....

This movie is thoroughly enjoyable. The scenes between Mickey Rooney (as Andy Hardy) and his blind date are hysterical. The expressions on his parents faces when they think that this is the girl their son wants to marry are priceless. The dance scenes have to be seen to be belived. Of course as in all of the Andy Hardy movies with Lewis Stone as the father and Fay Holden as the mother, the parent / child conversations are wonderful. I highly recommend this Andy Hardy movie and any others you can get your hands on.

This movie is absolutely hilarious!!!! Mickey Rooney is just awesome in this movie and he is in all of the Andy Hardy pictures. The dance with his MUCH taller date is just hilarious. So many funny things happen to Andy in this movie you will find yourself laughing a lot. ANdy is also thinking of asking a girl to marry him in this movie, but he is sorely hurt....you will have to watch to find out what happens. I would highly recommend this film for anyone, especially fans of the great Mickey Rooney.

As a classic movie buff, this one is just perfect! What a way to spend a relaxing 90 minutes but with a great classic like this one!

This was a good old movie but i'm afraid after you've seen Love finds Andy Hardy, the rest don't seem as funny. Overall, it is wonderful, because Mickey Rooney is in it, but it lacks the charm of when Andy was home at Carville and girl crazy. In this he acts a little more 'mature' and 'of the world.'Mickey plays Andy Hardy in this film. While away at college Andy falls head over heels in love with Kay (Bonita Granville) And at first you think she loves him back but suddenly she dumps him for a much older man Dane Kittredge. Though a little depressing, still a wonderful movie. And you'll love it when 5'2 Andy dances with a 6'3 girl and she's throwing him all around!!! Hilarious!!!!

This is a fun movie and the entire cast is a pleasure to watch, especially Mickey Rooney.

I used to watch reruns of the Andy Hardy movies back in the early 70's and always enjoyed them immensely.

I believe there were about 15 'Andy Hardy' movies in all produced in the 1930's and 1940's.

I was hoping the entire series of movies would be released on DVD but so far there are only 2 that I know of.

I bet there are many others out there like myself who are willing to buy these movies on DVD.

Here's hoping they all get released!

I love this movie! It was funny watching the dancing. I hope you can have the other movies with M.R. put on DVD's.

Made in 1946 4 years after the stellar " Life Begins For Andy Hardy ", this movie proved to the MGM brass that Andy Hardy's time had past as this movie bombed at the box office. Mickey Rooney was getting too old to play Andy also many piviotal Andy Hardy characters had moved on. Anne Rutherford as Polly, Cecila Parker as Marion, and Judy Garland as Betsy are missing from this movie. Still has some nice scenes, if you loved the Andy Hardy series you will of course like this movie. But anyone else will fall asleep.

This is a review of the 2001 "Passion Productions a Division of PMC Corp." DVD of "Love Laughs at Andy Hardy", and not a review of the film itself.

This edition of "Love Laughs at Andy Hardy" is low budget, as the cover photo and copy will immediately inform you, should you purchase this DVD. The cover photo shows a modern building (perhaps PMC Corporation, perhaps a college) with low resolution photographs of Lewis Stone, Mickey Rooney, and Judy Garland superimposed, and the captions: "Lewis Stone - Mickey Rooney - Bonita Granville". Yes, that's correct, Judy Garland's photo is captioned "Bonita Granville". (Bonita Granville is in the film, not Judy Garland, just to be clear.)

The description on the back of the DVD clam shell case reads:

"Andy Hardy goes to college after returning from the war. As usual, he is in love with Kay Wilson this time [sic], but a succession of hilarious circumstances pushes him into on [sic] frenetic situation after another."

The DVD itself has a print of the film that is rather too bright, though not grainy. Still, the images get washed-out periodically. The case indicates the disc is region free, which may account for the fact that the film played with no sound in my Panasonic DVD player. My Sony DVD player treated me to both the picture and the sound.

None of this bothered me much, since I paid $4 plus $3 shipping for the disc, so I got what I paid for. Still, if you want a high quality DVD of this film you should look elsewhere. Caveat emptor!

This Movie Has To Be A Classic By Any Standard Set Before It. This Is The Type Of Movie that The Whole Family Can Sit down To And Enjoy Together.
