Recommandations

Chicago Reader
The issues deepen in a subtle, natural way: the film begins as a trifle and ends as something beautiful and affirmative. A classic. - 100
TV Guide Magazine
A superbly lighthearted production, and the epitome of 1930s screwball comedies. - 100
Chicago Tribune
One of the great screwball comedies. [23 Jan 1998, p.N] - 88
Slant Magazine
The Awful Truth is a perfect farce, devoid of any fat, in which Lucy and Jerry’s fantasies and schemes topple after one another like figurative dominoes. - 88
Charlotte Observer
It's one of those films in which even the dog is funny. [14 Mar 2004, p.9E] - 80
Time Out
A routine story perhaps, but McCarey transforms it , through his customary affection for his characters and taut pacing, into delightfully effective entertainment. - 80
Los Angeles Times
McCarey and his team of Dunne and Grant bring a patina of slapstick to this high-society story based on Arthur Richman's play and adapted for the screen by Vina Delmar. [03 Oct 1991, p.12] - 80
The New Yorker
Irene Dunne's way with a quip is to smile brightly and wring it dry, but she's at her best here.
