Christmas in Connecticut Ratings & Reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
THR Staff
Played strictly for laughs, belly type, it's an audience winner from way back in the balcony. What can you lose?
Rachel's Reviews (YouTube)
Rachel Wagner
It's nothing that's going to change your life or anything but if you want a pleasant and romantic comedy that has some good laughs and some good chemistry it's a... really entertaining little Christmas movie.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Barbara Stanwyck uses every acting muscle in her body to redeem this silly holiday romance.
TIME Magazine
Thoroughly moth-eaten.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
If this mildly amusing screwball comedy about mistaken identity has a conservative slant of glorifying housewives it's due to the zeitgeist: It was made in 1945, at the end of WWII, when men were coming home and women sent back to the kitchen.
TV Guide
A sometimes hilarious farce and a holiday favorite.
New York Times
Peter Godfrey, the director, has a good deal to learn about the art of telling a boudoir joke in the parlor and getting away with it.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
reasonably good fun, and Stanwyck actually overcomes the role's limitations
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Delightfully cheerful screwball comedy that is especially suited for the Christmas holidays.
Kansas City Kansan
Steve Crum
Breezy, fun holiday comedy that has dated somewhat.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Okay, mildly amusing Christmas fare.
Kalamazoo Gazette
James Sanford
A gem of a holiday comedy: Stanwyck is adorable
Chicago Reader
Pat Graham
Frolicsome in an artificially hearty sort of way.
