everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

This is pretty terrible, but there are a few good moments. For example, Bob Hope is talking to his boss and says. "I didn't sleep last night." His boss replies, "You should talk to my doctor, he can't sleep either." That was the highlight for me.

Tuesday Weld plays Bob Hope's virginal teenage daughter, but she looks a little seasoned for the part. She's seriously hung up on high school dropout Frankie Avalon, so Hope takes advantage of an open position within his company to move to Sweden, where Weld temporarily forgets Avalon after meeting cultured Jeremy Slate, who is really a Swedish playboy. Flatly-directed comedy with a few funny lines finally buried under a desperate final reel which has Hope busting into various hotel rooms, trying to stop his daughter from doing the deed. Sex comedy without sex, but with a lot of dancing around the subject. Glossy and silly (and clearly filmed entirely in California), the picture would actually be somewhat forgivable if only screenwriter Nat Perrin had provided Hope with some witty repartee. Instead, Perrin and director Frederick De Cordova concentrate on situational farce--burlesque routines--while the supporting cast goes down with the ship. ** from ****

Wise-cracking widower Bob Hope (as Robert "Bob" Holcomb) arrives home to discover his pretty blonde daughter Tuesday Weld (as JoJo Holcomb) is engaged to pseudo-rock 'n' roll singer Frankie Avalon (as Kenny Klinger). Mr. Avalon has dropped put of college, rides a motorcycle, lives in a small trailer, and takes Ms. Weld out to strip clubs. Hope is horrified. In order to get Weld away from Avalon, he accepts a job transfer to Stockholm. There, Hope discovers a Swedish custom regarding pre-marital sex...We are told, in order to determine how well they are "suited for each other," Swedes have sex before getting married. This insures a low divorce rate. Hope romances attractive Dina Merrill (as Karin Granstedt Martoni) and Weld prepares to lose her virginity during a two week vacation with playboy Jeremy Slate (as Erik Carlson). Hope declares, "Nobody's gonna chalk up any mileage on JoJo without getting a driver's license first!" To make Weld change her mind, Hope contacts Avalon in America...Avalon returns to the storyline and gives the film a final burst of energy. The highlight is his performance of "I'll Take Sweden, Ya Ya Ya!" In brief blue swim trunks, Avalon gyrates around a boatyard, attracting Rosemarie Frankland in a white bikini. The beauty queen with obvious assets moved from Hope (one of the comedian's many alleged companions) to Grass Roots singer Warren Entner. Avalon was no longer selling rock 'n' roll records, but he is funnier and more appealing than all others, herein.****** I'll Take Sweden (6/2/65) Frederick de Cordova ~ Bob Hope, Frankie Avalon, Tuesday Weld, Dina Merrill

Good Screwball comedy movie that is a definite B-Quality production but still is good enough to tickle the funny bones of those who like the genre and Bob Hope. The performance of Tuesday Weld was very memorable as she proves she has comedy skills as well. Very good Color.......
