Viewing Notes

Every time I watch this I enjoy it, but wonder why it’s so popular. I don’t know what it is that I don’t get about it, but it’s just not so wonderful. It has some funny moments, the Baby, It’s Cold Outside” duet is great, and the ending is very sweet - those parts just don’t add up enough for me.
