Love Is A Ball Reviews

Producing dud romantic comedies is not a 21st century phenomenon. Take, for instance, David Swift’s Love Is a Ball. It’s meant to be bubble-light and an effervescent French-tinged delight, but it lumbers instead of lilts, and despite a sterling cast of actors playing the rather stock roles, chemistry is missing, and sparks simply don’t fly. One need only look at Lover, Come Back, the witty Rock Hudson-Doris Day romantic comedy made around the same time, to see the way romantic comedies can be done right. Love Is a Ball is a romantic comedy missing both romance and comedy.
