Clevercell Very disappointing...

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

mark.waltz While glamorous girls like Faye Dunaway, Jane Fonda and Raquel Welch had become established stars by the late 1960's, it was the quirky girls or British ladies who got the share if acclaim as the decade changed. Between Liza, Barbra and Goldie, each of them took home an Oscar, while also topping the list of box office stars as well as the headlines. To pair quirky Goodie with eccentric funnyman Peter Sellers seemed an ideal pairing, but their film was doomed to become a dated product of its time within a few years.For Goldie to all of a sudden be falsely called "Mrs. Danvers" (Seller's character's last name) is an inside joke, if an obscure one. Sellers is the British Dick Cavett, but a confirmed bachelor suddenly matched to the much younger Hawn, taking her to a wine show in France and finding romance he didn't expect. They actually work well together, not surprising considering that he eventually became involved down the road with the equally off the beam Liza.It's not just the sexual freedom of this era that dates it, but everything in its technical set up. Hawn us pretty emancipated, but changes from feisty, independent and often difficult, to vulnerable and feminine. Sellers' character changes as well, for different reasons. There are funny moments, touching moments and ultimately bitter sweet.

gerard-21 ****Includes Spoilers*** Made during Sellers' low period of 1968-1974 this movie was not the financial or critical disaster that many of his other films during that era were. It certainly doesn't mean it's blemish free, but at least it's interesting (for awhile).Sellers plays an aging lothario who has seemingly met the girl (Goldie Hawn) who might just break him of his old habits. Sadly it is not to be as she makes a very curious choice at the end, leaving the audience to wonder, HUH???However, the 1st 3 quarters of the movie are quite interesting and funny in establishing the characters. Unfortunately the humor, along with Hawn's character, degenerates quickly during the final 4th. Thankfully, Sellers offers up one of the better performances of his down years, basically playing off his own widely publicized insecurities.While no great shakes, I would still recommend it to any Sellers' or Goldie Hawn fan.

JOHNBATES-1 The gems in this weak comedy are the performances of John Comer and Diana Dors as a disillusioned, resigned married couple. Some real chemistry and laughs there. The movie would have benefited enormously with more of their scenes.

moonspinner55 Peter Sellers and Goldie Hawn team for a kooky romantic comedy...and it's a wash-out? Despite a few pithy, funny one-liners, this May-September romance doesn't go anywhere or give the actors anything special to do. British womanizer Sellers goes back and forth verbally with new 'bird' Hawn before they decide they like each other. London's mod phase must have been petering out around this time, as "There's a Girl in My Soup" has a shabby appearance, with colorless color photography, boring costumes and sets. Even Peter's bachelor pad is mundane. Lots of (disparate) talents involved, yet Terence Frisby's script, adapted from his play, doesn't really make a movie. Most of the jabbering about relationships is eternally fatigued, with a clinker for every laugh. ** from ****
