Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

An absolute waste of money

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Ironically, as I sat down to watch this film I had never seen -- a film about amnesia -- I had the sense of deja vu (all over again!). That's because the opening scenes were so much like some other old movie I had watched -- the drunk walking on the rail of the ship and falling into the ocean. Yet, once past those opening minutes, the film was all new to me. So, one way or another, one film-maker borrowed from another.In my view there is a huge flaw in this film, which I imagine most film-goers didn't even notice. If you do (and now you will), you'll have to overlook it...but that's okay...after all, this is a screwball comedy. At the start of the film, William Powell is a prim and proper teetotaler. He is then struck on the head and amnesia sets in. But instead of just not knowing who he is, he knows who he is...in his other persona. Then he goes back to his hometown and he is the prim and proper teetotaler he clearly always was. That's just not the way amnesia works. Although, others interpret this film as portraying a man who had amnesia for a decade, becoming someone else -- sort of a double or triple amnesia. It just doesn't quite work.But okay, other than that, this is a delightful film, and I think one of the very best of the William Powell - Myrna Loy pairings...yes, even better than the Thin Main series! It's genuinely funny! William Powell is wonderful, as usual...and Myrna Loy is delicious, as usual. For a change, Frank McHugh is bearable...in fact rather enjoyable...as the crooked "Doc". The rest of the cast does their jobs, but aren't standouts. It is nice to see Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer here as a child; he was 13 here.Although I think the amnesia plot is shaky, this film is definitely a treasure. Watch it and enjoy a masterful acting team!

Powell and Loy starred in 14 films. Although this is not one of their better efforts, their charm and chemistry makes it worthwhile. Powell is a shady fellow who snaps out of a nine-year amnesia spell to discover that he has become a shrewd businessman and a pillar of the community during this time except that wife Loy is about to divorce him because he's too dull. The premise sounds better than the execution. The bit where Powell goes into the woods with the boy scouts is not very amusing and is too drawn out, causing the film to lose momentum. Van Dyke is reunited with Powell and Loy, whom he directed in several of the "Thin Man" films.

W.S. Van Dyke seems to be having a blast directing this madcap comedy that brings together one of the most endearing couple of the cinema: Myrna Loy and William Powell."I Love You Again" starts aboard a Trans Atlantic crossing where we meet Larry Wilson. He is a tight man with his money, as shown at the ship's bar where his penny pinching is embarrassing. After an accident lands him on the water, Larry suffers a blow to the head and he becomes amnesiac, reverting into a former self, a con artist. With the help of his new best friend, Doc Ryan, he realizes he's struck gold. He's rich!Little prepares Larry for what awaits him on arrival in New York. His wife, Kay, is at the pier! Nothing makes sense of Larry, and thus begins a game of catch up with his new persona. Along the way, Kay and Larry battle because she doesn't want any part of the stingy Larry. We watch Kay as suddenly falling for Larry as he seems a changed man. Love will win in the end!William Powell plays the double personality man Larry Wilson/George Carey, with his usual flair. Myrna Loy is shown at her best. She showed such a beauty and sophistication in the film that's hard to imagine anyone else playing Kay. Frank McHugh is excellent as Larry's would be partner-in-crime. Edmund Lowe and Donald Douglas are good as well.The movie is a lot of fun and will reward anyone watching it.

Yes as mentioned, a lot of fun. Haven't seen Love Crazy but prob just as much fun. I too wish it had a more solid title but movie factory was incrank 'em out mode as Great Depression I rolled on. If they remade this one, Grace from Wiil & Grace (Debra Messing) would be a knockout lookalike for Myrna Loy. DM has the bearing and clothes horse style with a slow/fast burn comedic ability. DM not given big screen use much except for Woody Allen in Hollywood Ending. Woody is always 5 years ahead of consensus at breaking talent. So give this one a ride unless they make one for theGreat Depression II from viewpoint of unemployed that is as that is the usual determinant.
