I liked this better than 'On Moonlight Bay'


I see that On Moonlight Bay gets a higher IMDb rating, but I like this film better. I thought they overdrew the character of Wesley in the first film, making him practically a juvenile delinquent, seemingly hostile to everyone. Here everything was a comedy of errors, and so it came off sweeter.

In addition, the humor seemed less scattershot, the always delightful Mary Wickes role was expanded, and it had more songs.
