Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The first five minutes of Love Finds Andy Hardy are really cute. Lewis Stone, head of the Hardy household, is a benevolent judge with a sweet rapport with Fay Holden, his wife. Unfortunately, the only reason the movie started out cute was because Mickey Rooney, the lead, hadn't showed up yet. I don't know what he was trying to do or why he thought it was a good idea to do it, but watching this movie will make you absolutely despise him. He acts like he's been kicked in the head by a mule, his hormones are out-of-control and make him a selfish jerk, and his punchy energy makes him seem like a marionette whose main goal is to become a "real boy". Once again, I found myself talking through another terrible movie in order to keep my sanity. Judy Garland's strange posture and way of walking would have warranted criticism on its own, but the way her character was written deserves much more of that. Mickey Rooney is a callous hormone-crazed jerk who tries to take advantage of every girl he meets, but for some reason, Judy's crazy about him and tries to win him for herself. Nothing about their scenes together makes sense, and compared to his lunatic facial expressions, she seemed enormously depressed during each of her lines.Unless you want to see Mickey Rooney as an insane bobblehead, skip this one and pick another Andy Hardy movie. They made sixteen of them.

While many folks might really love this installment of the Andy Hardy franchise because you get to see Lana Turner AND Judy Garland, no matter how you look at it Andy is a jerk. Andy is broke and needs money...a theme in nearly all the Andy Hardy films. So, to get money for his car, he agrees to take Cynthia (Turner) out and show her a good time. Now why would anyone want to pay Andy to do that? Well, her boyfriend is going out of town and wants to be sure Cynthia never gets serious with any other boys...so he pays Andy to date her...technically making Andy a giggolo! As for his steady girlfriend, Polly (Ann Rutherford), she's also out of town and so she apparently won't be the wiser. To complicate things, a new neighbor, Betsy (Garland) just moved in and she is infatuated with Andy...though she's obviously too nice for him. What's to come of all this?The notion that three women would fight over that pipsqueak Andy is a bit hard to imagine. And, as for Andy, he treats all of the young ladies abominably and it's really hard to pull for him in this film. Because of this, although it has an amazing cast, it's also not one of the better films of the series. Plus, with Judy in this one, they were obliged to throw in three songs--three not very good songs. As a result, it messed up the formula which worked so well in the rest of the Hardy films. Had this been "Babes on Broadway" or a similar Mickey Rooney-Judy Garland film, it would have made a lot more sense. Worth seeing but weak.By the way, Mary Blake (Grandmama from "The Addams Family" TV show) makes her first of two appearances in the series.

English is not my language (I may have given errors)This was the only film I've seen in the series "Andy Hardy". I had long wanted to watch this movie essentially because this movie has a young Lana Turner. I am Lana fan and I like watching her movies, good or bad. Judy Garland is also an actress who I love. I'm not big fan of Mickey Rooney but neither disgust. Ann Rotherford is lovely and beautiful. She could become a great actress because she could have done characters style "Olivia DE Havilland" (they both are even physically similar). When I saw "Love finds Andy Hardy", the film became one of my life. It's adorable, sweet, light, love. The film is not a great story but it is nice.I recommend it because I liked the movie. But attention. Not a great movie. The songs sung by Judy Garland are nothing special. Lana Turner is beautiful and the scene where she, Judy and Mickey are in the drugstore is my favorite.I was disappointed with the scene where Mickey takes Judy to the ball. I wanted to Mickey realizes that Judy should be attached by him to the ball.An innocent and cheerful film. I recommend.

Getting on for twenty years ago Channel 4 ran the complete Andy Hardy series on successive Saturday mornings. I had never seen any but had like most film buffs heard lots about them. I found them completely enchanting, nostalgic and remarkably true to a middle America that never existed but that you wished had. Love Finds Andy Hardy is now available on DVD as part of a Judy Garland boxed set and having just watched it I'm slightly disappointed I didn't get quite the same pleasure I did twenty years ago. There are, of course, lots of good things going on, the idealized family living in an idealized town best described as the town in which George Bailey (James Stewart) lives in for two thirds of It's A Wonderful Life, before it turns into Potterville temporarily but Carvel is never in any danger of that kind of reality being allowed to intrude. It's also refreshing to see teenagers dealing with hormonal changes without going any further than a virtually chaste kiss or two. My greatest fear is that someone will remake them and we'll wind up with titles like Andy Hardy Finds Sleaze.
