Home Boner is a rather unique 1939 comedy that takes a quite literal approach to the chaotic life of a real estate salesman. Errol's experience after his honeymoon, as he struggles with the incessant interruptions of potential buyers in a model home, creates a surprisingly relatable yet absurd atmosphere. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that just adds to the charm of its vintage humor. Practical effects are simple but effective, and the performances, while not groundbreaking, carry a certain earnestness that keeps you engaged. There's a quirky energy that permeates the film, making it stand out in its own peculiar way amidst typical comedies of the era.
Home Boner is an interesting piece for collectors, though its obscurity makes it a bit harder to find in good condition. It's been released on various formats over the years, but the scarcity of decent prints adds to its allure. The film tends to be overshadowed by other classics from the era, yet those who appreciate the offbeat charm of 30s comedies often find themselves intrigued by its blend of situational humor and domestic chaos.
