It's springtime. Judge Hardy gets tricked into a crooked business deal. Polly continues to try making Andy Hardy (Mickey Rooney) jealous. Instead, he falls for his new drama teacher, Miss Rose Meredith.
It's the seventh film in the Hardy family franchise. This one is mostly an Andy Hardy film. The Judge's story is almost secondary and Marian gets folded into it. I don't really care about that story. The rest of the family becomes support characters. It's Andy and his teenage hormones. I would have made Polly much more jealous. This is a silly puppy love crush but the movie loses me when Andy starts planning their future together. I know people got married much younger back in the day and Rose is young enough to not look that creepy. Andy is crushing too hard. I just want more distancing with the crush and do more with Polly. It's a little awkward. The twist ending is an excuse to let Andy off the hook. Rose could have mentioned the surprise a lot sooner.
