"Never a Dull Moment" is a film that seems more like a sit-com in style...with very broad humor and a setting that is somewhat reminiscent of "Green Acres" but with few of the laughs.
Fred MacMurray of all people plays a rodeo star. When he's doing a charity event in New York City, he meets a society lady (Irene Dunne) and they begin dating...and get married all within a few days. Now this IS odd, as back home Fred has two young daughters and instead of introducing them to the new wife FIRST, he just brings home new mama. But new mama is ill-equipped for the tough life on a ranch in the middle of no where...and she needs to learn to cook, clean and be a farm wife.
The problem with the film is that most of it just isn't very funny. Cringe-worthy, yes, but not funny. The broad comedy and logical problems with the film make it a less than thrilling experience....watchable but nothing more.
