here's a happy day early i love lucy day to all those who celebrate! i'll be busy tomorrow but i had some time to watch this today so i figured i'd get it in while i could.

not even desi arnaz's beautiful big brown eyes prettiest eyes i ever did see and his floppy hair could completely calm the stress fest that is the drive up the mountain. he's so cuuuuteee in the scene when he's in the pyjamas and they're at the table and lucy is talking about when she first fell in love ohhh me too girl. when he starts singing about food MY HEART. he's so hot in that leather jacket... outfit game is incredible here. those striped shirts lucy wears? ok and i'll shut up about desi soon but... the shower scene... which i may have watched before i actually saw the movie... seeing him rub soap on his ### #### #### oh my god don't do this to me also ### ####### UGHHHHHH i want to #### ### ### #### # ###

Ha ha so yeah anyways. lucy after said shower scene... stunning jawdropping gorgeous zowie just two of the prettiest people ever really. the separate twin beds are killing me but this does have the most passionate kisses between the two since they dared to have their beds joined together

sick they might be giants reference! and what the hell is tacy! i mean they say it's short for anastasia in the movie which kind of makes sense but still. fucking TACY. i just hear nicky as ricky every time but tacy is such a peculiar name they wanted to call her lucy so bad but why not go for like. susie or something. kind of close to the name of her cousin but i think it works. i can hear desi saying it the way he says luuuuuucyyyy.

this review is almost as disastrous as this movie is (compliment towards the film) but it was a loverly watch!!! funny and engaging

“Nicky! The trailer! It’s leaving without us!!” ᰔ ִ ׄ୨ৎ

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCILLE BALL ♡♡♡

One of my absolute favourite actresses of all time, so funny, so talented, the type of girlie you can't not love. I'm very excited to continue to watch her filmography and delve deeper, as she's just so enticing to watch ᥫ᭡

Ironically, this is also the 100th movie from the ***1950's I've seen, ever. And you know, this was cutsie. A technicolour world, MGM, Vincente Minnelli*** as director. Gorg x

Heterosexual couple almost dies in several potentially gruesome trailer-related accidents.

This feels like an episode from “I Love Lucy.” I mean, even the names are pretty close to Lucy and Ricky. I’m just missing an Ethel and Fred in this too
Messy is my type of humor, so I like it A LOT. Who would think of buying a trailer and going to a mountain? Even if the rocks weren’t there, it would still be dangerous
At least their love will never fall into a routine
