Review

A young man is getting a big heritage from his grandfather, but there is one condition - he must be married at 19:00 on his 27th birthday. Sadly the day is on current day and he is not yet married. He has been long keen about Mary but he have always failed to tell her. He will ask her to be his wife, but he also tells about this money and that leads problem that Mary does not want to marry her because she thinks that it is the only reason why he wants to marry her. He and his friends continue to search another option who would be his wife and there is seven possible candidates but none of them seem to be interested.

This was a very funny comedy. Its story is excellent, humour is hilarious and even after 98 years it felt refreshing and fresh. This kind of movies are timeless masterpieces what are not bound to the time and its surrounding culture like many other movies are so in a way it is like a Carl Barks stories in Donald Duck - no natter the time when you see it, it still works. This is an excellent movie!
