The Review: The Man Who Came To Dinner


The Man Who Came to Dinner 8/10


A few weeks ago L. and I watched this movie called The Man Who Came To Dinner. It was made in 1942 and in all honesty I fell asleep when we first started watching it because it was late as hell. We ended up finishing it the next day and I laughed way too much at this movie. This movie is about this jerk named Whiteside who is a radio personality who ends up breaking his hip when he falls down on the steps of this rich house. He pretty much forces them to let him stay there while he recuperates in his wheelchair and the whole time he is getting weird objects sent to the house from rich and famous people. I'm talking about penguins, octopus, and even an Egyptian sarcophagus. So while he's there his assistant Maggie is also there and she ends up falling for this dude who works at the newspaper named Bert. Bert is working on a play and he really wants Whiteside to read it but Whiteside doesn't want him dating his assistant because then she'll go away. Whiteside ends up scheming with this actress that he knows to take Bert away from his assistant so that she can't quit.
