Are You Ready for Marriage?

Surprisingly insightful and even-handed (for its time). I know several couples who would benefit from this short even now.

Condescending, but, at least at the time it was made, I can believe this would actually have been effective. An awkward mix of interesting curiosity and hilarious naivete now.

A reasonable argument to hold off on marriage, let down only by ham-fistedly hilarious attempts to speak to the kids on their level.

Makes a somewhat bizarre but sensible argument to hold off on marriage. The common sense facts are fine, but the so called scientific ones are head scratching. Still, not the worst short subject to come from the 50's. [MST3k can be a let down on some shorts but they're pretty damn good with this one.]

On one hand it actually has a reasonable and well-thought out message, something these ephemeral films aren't always known for. On the other hand the presentation of said message is hilariously absurd, and the two teen(?) actors are terrible. A slog to get through.

Made for a particularly great MST3K short though.

Now I have a visual for my grandparents' stories of wooing in between local weenie roasts and Shriners community service. And necking. Blech.

Getting laid.
