not funny

It's the Great Depression. The Peterson family is squatting in a vacant farm house. The daughter, Joan Peterson, wants a life in the big city rather than marrying forest ranger Bill Parker. Mama is supportive but father forbids her. Mike Clarke, Miller, and Baxter are criminals looking to use the abandoned house to hide out. When they find the Petersons, they decide to rent a room from the family.

It's supposed to be a comedy. Times change and tastes change. The comedy is broad and not that funny to me. It may work better if I care about any of the characters. If this is a love triangle rom-com, I'm not rooting for either side of the triangle. It's just not funny.
