It Never Rains, But What It Pours

One Of My Favorite-Mickey and Judy

I simply love this Andy Hardy film. I found it at Wal-mart one day and just had to get it. I've seen Mickey Rooney in films before, but never was he so funny as in this. Mickey and Judy Garland were great together. In fact, they are my favorite on screen couple of all time. The whole movie is funny and entertaining. I wish they would put all of the Andy Hardy movies out on DVD. Another movie I like with Mickey and Judy is Girl Crazy. It's a great musical, if you like musicals. This one isn't boring and simply entertaining all the way through. For a great laugh and a lot of fun check out Love Finds Andy Hardy....you will not be disappointed.
