[A] screwball masterpiece.

Village Voice
Rating: 3/5 --
There's a charm to both Powell and Lombard, making the film transcend generations. It's a cute movie that has fun with levels of wealth in society and sibling rivalry.

My Man Godfrey emerges with that evasive quality that is not skillful playing, writing or direction, but something that mysteriously adds itself to these things, and makes a tip-top picture.

TIME Magazine
It then turned out that My Man Godfrey was really about the class-struggle, not the best subject in the world for comedy. Best not to stay for the ending. It leaves you with the feeling that the whole thing was a waste of time.

Rating: 5/5 --
While My Man Godfrey is full of witty dialogue and classical direction, it's the film's social awareness that really stands out today.

Gregory La Cava's improvisational style received its highest critical acclaim for this 1936 film, a marginally Marxist exercise in class confusion during the Depression.

Chicago Reader
The film has lost some of its allure over the years, but it's still streets and streets ahead of the addled whimsy favoured by latter-day Hollywood.

Description by OLDIES.com:
My Man Godfrey -- Digitally Remastered. This classic and charming romantic comedy is one of the defining films of the "Screwball" genre. "My Man Godfrey" follows a scatterbrained socialite (the irrepressible Carole Lombard) who hires a vagrant (William Powell) as a family butler. But there's far more to Godfrey than meets the eye! Nominated for six Academy Awards including "Best Actor", "Best Actress" and "Best Director", "My Man Godfrey" is an unforgettable gem from the heyday of old Hollywood!
