Reviews
The critical reception of "Don't Just Stand There" has been mixed, reflected in its modest IMDb score of 5.7/10. Some reviewers appreciate the film's lighthearted and breezy nature, praising the chemistry between Robert Wagner and Mary Tyler Moore. Film critic Roger Ebert noted that while the movie isn't groundbreaking, it offers enough charm and humor to entertain on a casual viewing. However, other critics have pointed out its formulaic plot and occasional pacing issues, which can cause the film to feel dated by modern standards. On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie does not have an official aggregate score, indicating limited contemporary reviews, but user reviews suggest it is a nostalgic piece for fans of 1960s romantic comedies. The film's appeal largely lies in its classic Hollywood style and the performances of its leads, rather than in a compelling or deeply engaging storyline. Overall, "Don't Just Stand There" is considered a pleasant but unremarkable example of its genre.
