John Kent (Randolph Scott), a former star football player at Harvard, goes to Paris with his friend Huck Haines (Fred Astaire) and the latter's dance band, the Wabash Indianians. Alexander Voyda (Luis Alberni) has booked the band, but refuses to let them play when he finds the musicians are not the Indians he expected, but merely from Indiana (Huck Haines and his Indianians Band).
John turns to the only person he knows in Paris for help, his Aunt Minnie (Helen Westley), who owns the fashionable "Roberta" gown shop. While there, he meets her chief assistant (and secretly the head designer), Stephanie (Irene Dunne). John is quickly smitten with her.
Meanwhile, Huck unexpectedly stumbles upon someone he knows very well. "Countess Scharwenka", a temperamental customer at Roberta's, turns out to be his hometown sweetheart Lizzie Gatz (Ginger Rogers). She gets Huck's band an engagement at the nightclub where she is a featured entertainer.
Two things trouble John. One is Ladislaw (Victor Varconi), the handsome Russian deposed prince and doorman who seems too interested in Stephanie. The other is the memory of Sophie (Claire Dodd), the snobbish, conceited girlfriend he left behind after a quarrel over his lack of sophistication and polish.
When Aunt Minnie dies unexpectedly without leaving a will, John inherits the shop. Knowing nothing about women's fashion and that his aunt intended for Stephanie to inherit the business, he persuades Stephanie to remain as his partner. Correspondents flock to hear what a football player has to say about feminine fashions. Huck gives the answers, making a lot of weird statements about the innovations John is planning to introduce.
Sophie arrives in Paris, attracted by John's good fortune. She enters the shop, looking for a dress, but is dissatisfied with everything Stephanie shows her. Huck persuades her to choose a gown that John had ordered discarded as too vulgar. When John sees her in it, they quarrel for the final time.
John reproaches Stephanie for selling Sophie the gown. Terribly hurt, Stephanie quits the shop. With Roberta's putting on a fashion show in a week, Huck takes over the design work, with predictably bad results. When Stephanie sees his awful creations, she is persuaded to return to save Roberta's reputation.
The show is a triumph, helped by the entertaining of Huck, Countess Scharwenka, and the band. (A pre-stardom Lucille Ball, with platinum blond hair, appears uncredited in her first RKO film[4] as a model wearing an elaborate feather cape, after the vocal by Dunne, in the fashion show.[5]) The closing sensation is a gown modeled by Stephanie herself. At the show, John overhears that she and Ladislaw are leaving Paris and mistakenly assumes that they have married. Later, he congratulates her for becoming a princess. When she informs him that Ladislaw is merely her cousin and that the title has been hers since birth, the lovers are reunited. Huck and Lizzie, who decide to get married, do a final tap dance sequel.
一堆梗的整合，但至少能看。不像有的片子，一言难尽。
至少在描写代沟时，电影能够直视成长与教育的继承问题，横亘在两代之间由社会发展带来的观念差异，在母亲再次「成为小孩」后得以及时和解——这或许侧面解释了母亲的红熊形象为何如此巨大，除了多个长辈的期望外，不断在内心衍生的自我厌恶也一直相伴而生。最终，驱邪仪式在传统与流行／技术的交融下完成，未尝不代表了一种意义更为深远的「和解」。
everybody has their inner fear or problems. perhaps a better way to deal with them is to accept them, make room for them, translate them, and live with them. life isn't perfect, so is every one of us. to be a perfect self is illusory and will only drive us to the abyss we set. accept who we are, good or bad, with no judgment. love and peace can be found in the present and the present is the best moment.
不难看，但没啥意思。迪士尼后的皮克斯一再让人失望
【8.3】片子的主要矛盾来源于“传统”的亚洲家庭里的家庭观念，但是最后解除矛盾的恰巧也是主角一家根深蒂固的家庭观念，算是一种比较理想化但是温暖的结局思路了。虽然说整体的剧本比较简单，单薄，但是几位角色的关系还是挺让人回味感动的。整体算是4星电影，但是，就是说，作为小熊猫一级爱好者，我角色地球上应该没有人比我更喜欢小熊猫了，好感度直接拉满！
窒息老妈与青春少女的共同成长。元素混搭，其中的中国元素融合得还行，好些地方甚至又变得日漫般中二。

2.5 这感觉像极了春晚，我想看的不过是一台出人意料的好戏，结果来的又是一坨无数层次各种强扭自我感动的屎。
还能在新鲜一点吗？不就是拐着弯的说某国的文化是落后的，劝年轻人“投诚”这点烂戏码吗？
我觉得最好看粤语版，次选国语，结合东方文化更加有代入感。母亲的期待，与女儿的“弑母”。电影时长稍微短了一点，剧情也相对简单，有意避开了一些本应发生的冲突。估计这次迪士尼和皮克斯定位的是青少年。 / 2022.3.15 家
5.人物塑造非常喜欢，美美迷恋乐队，而妈妈永远把家庭放在第一位，gap非常符合现实
挺喜欢的。些许神秘的道家元素和密法家庭相融合，奇幻的光怪陆离。青春期女孩对女人转变的向往，追星日常与审美观念的碰撞，正确的性教育问题和绝对强势的母女关系都融汇在里面。
勉强及格吧禁不起推敲。诸多亚裔的刻板印象，非常尴尬，甚至有乳的嫌疑。总的说来好像讲了一个故事就叫做怎么别人都没事就尼玛你有事，还是大事。这种高等华人对其他族群文化困境和身份认同矛盾采取无视的态度真的很欠揍啊。
多少年过去了，美国人眼中的中国人还是没有什么变化。不知道该感慨美国，还是感慨中国。
Canadian Born Chinese has better representation than anywhere-else born Chinese now.
▫️因为是线上流媒体发布没有上院线，这部长篇肉眼可见透出“预算不太够”的味道…比起这几年已经看习惯了的皮克斯迪士尼大制作，环境建模让我以为这是2010年出品的动画（Sign……稍稍有点可惜了！Pixar第一位长片女性导演加油！未来可期！
ABC自我认同感的阵痛，熟悉又无熟悉，认同又无认同。
世间一切都不应被贴上标签。
优点是前半部分非常可爱，所有人物都可爱，故事讲的也挺灵动俏皮。剩下的全是缺点。这基础设定虽然有些新颖，但故事讲述实在是过于肤浅且公式化，这也太套路了，没有任何惊喜，照本宣科一般的生硬无趣，强行说教，强行煽情。后半部分所有人物全部沦为工具人，什么时候谁说什么话，全部像标准答案一样的死板沉闷。拜托，拍电影不是数学解题。越往后看越尴尬，甚至是厌恶，几乎要关掉屏幕了。这3星给的实在有些勉强。再有，这导演的《包宝宝》和这部优缺点几乎是一样的，想法不错，设定还算有趣，但表现的过于生硬和公式化，硬灌鸡汤。最后，这片子虽然充满了中国元素，但对华裔一家的片面描述，让我不大舒服，不对，是很不舒服。
