Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House Ratings & Reviews
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
It's quite fortunate that Grant and Loy are such an amusing onscreen couple, and that the script is overflowing with humorous dialogue.
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
A better director would certainly make Mr. Blandings Builds His Dreamhouse a stronger comedy but it's still a solid watch over 70 years later.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
It's occasionally too bland for its own good, but Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House succeeds on the strength of its trio of stars and their delivery of some biting quips.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
This lightly sweetened tale is still remarkably meaty.
TIME Magazine
James Agee
Blandings may turn out to be too citified for small-town audiences, and incomprehensible abroad; but among those millions of Americans who have tried to feather a country nest with city greenbacks, it ought to hit the jackpot.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
[Cary] Grant and ,Myrna] Loy were congenitally incapable of turning in poor work in a comedy.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Those in the middle-aged demographic might find this middlebrow comedy more pleasing than others.
Filmcritic.com
Mark Athitakis
best appreciated as a sort of adult version of teenage hygiene films from the '40s and '50s
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
The incredibly handsome, photogenic, movie-star image seems to disappear as Grant becomes simply the harassed Everyman.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
Much of the Blandings' dissatisfaction is of their own making, as they discover that realtors can be shrewd, mortgages can be complicated, and everything costs twice as much as you initially expect it to.
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
[Grant] has perfect comic timing and an amazing ability to contort his body in hilarious bits of physical comedy.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Mr. Grant builds my dream movie!
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Remains perhaps the most effective of Grant's domesticated films.
