I was just a teenager when I saw this movie, when it first came out. I loved it. I fell in love with Debbie Reynolds...but so did most of the guys my age back then. Tony Randall was great! It is a very old fashioned movie, one that made you laugh, and in the end one that made you feel good. We need more movies like that today. I have to say, being able to own the movie myself, and being able to watch it again, will be great. I'm going to order a copy...but, don't count on being able to borrow it, I'm going to be watching it too much, and then having my children watch it, too. They are going to love it, just like me.

A slightly risque farce [for that time] about Tax Guy Tony Randall investigating 'unpaid taxes' [something about the Civil War] and spending some time on the Larkin farm with young Debbie and the rest of the brood. Oh, there's just something about that fresh country air! Tony Randall says volumes with just a gesture here and there but keep away from the moonshine - that's when things really become complicated, and he is not quite sure, or cannot quite recall just what happened in the barn......was it?

Great support from Paul Douglas and Una Merkel as Pa and Ma Larkin. Truly a great romp on the widescreen with Debbie Reynolds - always providing the fun!

Quite a joy on a gloomy day! Great double-bill with Debbie as "Tammy" [the one and only original!].

We've long awaited the DVD release of this classic comedy. Although not fully remastered and restored, the quality is very good.

As an unabashed fan of Debbie Reynolds, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. it's a fun family movie for everyone, but fans of Debbie Reynolds will especially enjoy it.

This is Tony Randall at his best -- with a tremendous supporting cast and a hilarious storyline. It's a great summer movie that works well year-round, a chick flick that's not just for chicks. A classic.

I always enjoy this movie. Debbie at her most frenetic and Tony Randall at his buttoned-up best. First saw this as a teenager when these movies were big hits. Still enjoy it. A bit of nostalgia never hurts.

This is a cute, funny little movie that is just fun to watch. If you liked "The Thrill Of It All", "Houseboat", "Move Over Darling", or "Father Goose" then you will probably like this.

This is a fun little movie! We have searched for it for years in stores and finally found it here! The movie arrived in only a week to Canada! And it was in great condition. The transfer is well done - far better than I expected it to be, since it wasn't produced in the normal way, but from the studio on demand. Wonderful, funny movie that adds to my growing collection of Tony Randall movies!

I call it a funny old movie. I remember seeing this when I was in my teens, and wanted to see it again. So, I ordered it... the price was a little steep. About 2 days before I received it, it was aired on TCM... figures! I could have DVR'd it!

The Mating Game is a good movie when you are tired of all the macho, one man takes on the bad guys kind of entertainment. Fun with adult themes nicely vague. Tony Randal is doing what he does best..acting. It's a good down home type of movie. I highly recommend it for people who need a break from the usual stuff shown today.
