Travis Rogers, on the verge of marriage to Stephi, takes off for Dallas, to buy a car from a seductive saleswoman named Jonni. He buys the car, but the car is in need of repair. While having the car fixed he sees Jonni at a nightclub. Travis sleeps with Jonni just hours before his wedding, but right after, he happily marries the clueless Stephi. The movie ends with Travis and Stephi arriving at a motel for their wedding night.[1]

Reception

Writing in the Los Angeles Times, Michael Wilmington described It Takes Two as "a modestly budgeted comedy with...a frowzy plot" that nevertheless "has relentless pace and snap, real comic vigor."[1] The Time Out Film Guide calls the film "One of the better movies of hit-and-miss director Beaird".[2]
