Convention City Ratings & Reviews
New York Daily News
Wanda Hale
It ias all a lot of fun if you like seeing the same old faces in the same old predicaments.
Chicago Tribune
Mae Tinee
The piece is fast and because of clever acting, humorous in spots. But the average observer doesn't find wholesale inebriation an amusing sight -- and this film specializes in scenes depicting imbibers before, after, and while taking.
Detroit Free Press
Ella H. McCormick
Its humor is not gentle nor its lines polite, but it is so badly funny and true to its theme that despite Its frequent roughness there is nothing to do but loin the laugh parade and enjoy Its wildness to the end.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Robert Randol
The feature picture is highly entertaining it is Convention City and contains a cast of funsters that will keep you smiling most of the time and laughing out loud often.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Inquirer Staff
One of the most hilarious scenes is provided by Frank McHugh and Hugh Herbert, In which they get themselves happily and helplessly "lit," and there are others sufficiently bright to make Convention City a sprightly affair.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Don H. Thompson
An imposing cast, including Joan Blondell, Guy Kibbee, Adolphe Menjou, Dick Powell and Frank McHugh, fails to save it from being just so-so entertainment.
Los Angeles Times
Philip K. Scheuer
In the numerous assemblage, all the actors perform in characteristic style, Miss Astor perhaps impressing exceptionally by her brisk delineation of a saleswoman.
New York Times
Andre Sennwald
Among the furiously rubber-stamp comicalities of the picture, Mr. Menjou stands out like a diamond in a 10-cent-store jewelry counter.
TIME Magazine
TIME Staff
Convention City is a glib, disorganized batch of footnotes on a familiar aspect of U. S. business.
Variety
Variety Staff
Probably the fastest complex comedy of the year and a certain money picture, Warners could not have given the author of this original, Pete Milne, hotter support in a name cast.
San Francisco Examiner
Lloyd S. Thompson
Too much happens in Convention City to be recorded here. Let it merely be said that a perfectly chosen cast keeps things bubbling with mirth at all points.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Harold V. Cohen
Archie Mayo, the director, establishes an almost unbelievably furious tempo at the outset and the cast never lets him down.
Motion Picture Herald (Exhibitors Herald)
Gus McCarthy
The show is predominantly geared for laughter, yet it offers novel romance and a little light drama. Every one of the players is a character study and every separate bit of entertainment is a source of new interest.
Salt Lake Tribune
SLTrib Staff
The novel plot deftly covers a dozen different stories. And every one is filled with glamour, excitement and hilarious surprises.
Baltimore Sun
Gilbert Kanour
All of the above and more of the same are presented in such a ridiculous, but at bottom faithful, light that Convention City, while possibly over the heads of the casual mob, should delight the critical and the discriminating no end.
Motion Picture Magazine
Picture Parade
One of the funniest pictures of the year.
Kansas City Star
Jack Moffitt
The laughs are fast and raucous. Every part is a good one and every performer Is working at top speed.
Photoplay
Shadow Stage
It's so funny you'll scream.
The Film Daily
Film Daily Staff
With a name cast as long as your arm, including plenty of comedy talent, plus a continuity and direction that propel the action at a springy gait, there is something doing all the time, and mixed in with the farce are a couple of romances.
Harrison's Reports
P.S. Harrison
This comedy is uproariously funny but rough, bordering at times on the risque; it is good entertainment for adults who are not squeamish.
