Completely Charming — 1 week ago
This movie is so sweet, yet manages never to be saccharine. It’s a very simple story of a 34-year-old butcher who lives at home with his mom and is daily faced with the question of when he is going to get married. Similar to the concept of “The 40 Year Old Virgin,” Marty has tried to find love but has been so unsuccessful he is on the verge of giving up completely. Then he meets a Chemistry teacher at a local dance hall whose date has dumped her midway through because she’s such a “dog.” Ernest Borgnine is so loveable as Marty it is no wonder that he won the Oscar for Best Actor. A great film.
