 A crash course on taxing theory November 28, 2006
0 out of 3 found this review helpful
In fact I am not under 13 -it's just that I happen to have an old computer and the new protocols' rampant paranoia is simply preventing me from openly and honestly expressing my views. {To the site administrators: as the famous 'Rebel Without A Cause' quote goes, "You read too many comics!"...}
Now let's go straight to the point of it:
Most laypeople have polarized views about taxes -they either disregard the whole matter or become paralyzed by their fear of what they perceive as a Kafkian chaos.
'Mating Game' should be adopted as an introductory exercise by high-school and IRS extension courses since it gives revealing insight on the rationale behind general taxing theory and procedures, as well as their articulation with the whole of the legal system (federal and otherwise jurisdictional).
 Let's Talk Government May 6, 2006
2 out of 6 found this review helpful
The Mating Game is a fun but somewhat tedious film about a family who has not paid taxes their whole lives. They live with little income; they trade to get what they need for their large family. When the IRS discovers that they have never contributed to the government, a man goes to audit them. He finds it very difficult to determine what they owe due to their strange way of living and the fact that the teenage daughter (Debbie Reynolds) won't stop manhandling him. To make matters even more frustrating- for him at least- is that the family keeps bringing up that the government owes them payment for horses taken during the Civil War.
The movie can make you think about the way the government works, a somewhat corrupt and unfair system. Although taxes paid for the IRS workers' car, it is considered taboo for the taxpayers to even touch it. The debt to the family from the Civil War is laughed at, but yet the taxes owed for a few decades are of the highest importance. However, these issues are barely touched upon due to the jovial nature of the film.
The cast is great, especially Reynold's whose youthful vibrance lights up the screen whether she's running around shrieking or seducing older men.
Overall, this is not a bad way to waste some time, but it isn't overly inspiring or exciting.
Cute! July 31, 2005

Yes this is a cute movie and was amusing and as a fan of Debbie Reynolds and Tony Randall it was worth watching even though the character who Debbie Reynolds played was kind of annoying at times I still enjoyed the movie.
THOSE FABULOUS FIFTIES! February 25, 2002
9 out of 11 found this review helpful
A slightly risque farce [for that time] about Tax Guy Tony Randall investigating 'unpaid taxes' [something about the Civil War] and spending some time on the Larkin farm with young Debbie and the rest of the brood. Oh, there's just something about that fresh country air! Tony Randall says volumes with just a gesture here and there but keep away from the moonshine - that's when things really become complicated, and he is not quite sure, or cannot quite recall just what happened in the barn......was it?Great support from Paul Douglas and Una Merkel as Pa and Ma Larkin. Truly a great romp on the widescreen with Debbie Reynolds - always providing the fun! Quite a joy on a gloomy day! Great double-bill with Debbie as "Tammy" [the one and only original!].
Based on "The Darling Buds of May" August 11, 2000

Wendell Burnshaw (Philip Ober) wants his neighbor Pop Larkin (Paul Douglas) to stop borrowing his pig for breeding purposes and contacts his friend in the IRS Oliver Kelsey (Fred Clark). Oliver Kelsey sends Lorenzo Charlton (Tony Randall) as the IRS agent to evaluate what is owed by Pop Larkin. Evidently Pop has not played any taxes ever. Lorenzo finds more than he planed on when they "take him in." On top of everything else the Larrikins have a daughter Mariette (Debbie Reynolds) that is coming of age; it is spring and therefore "The Mating Season."
This is one of Tony Randall's best. Debbie Reynolds is a little smarter than her Tammy character.
This story is based on a book "The Darling Buds of May" by H.E. Bates.
