Reviews

Despite its star power with Joan Crawford, Montana Moon fails to captivate audiences due to its cliched storyline and lackluster performances. The chemistry between Crawford and Brown falls flat, and the humor feels forced rather than genuine. Rotten Tomatoes gives it a lackluster rating of 3.8/10, with critics pointing out the predictable plot and uninspired direction. IMDb rates Montana Moon at 4.9/10, with viewers expressing disappointment in the overall execution of the film. Some reviewers found the attempts at comedy to be awkward, and the film's pacing to be inconsistent. While the picturesque Montana scenery adds some charm to the movie, it is not enough to save it from being forgettable. Metacritic summarizes the film as a missed opportunity to showcase Crawford's talent in a subpar romantic comedy that lacks originality.
