Movies like Jinx's Birthday Party

Housecleaning interferes, as housecleaning is wont to do, with Jinx's birthday party. His wife writes a number of letters postponing the affair, but Jinx, true to the tradition of man, fails to mall them. The guests begin to arrive that afternoon, and Jinx is seized with the happy thought of pretending illness in order to evade them. His hoax is discovered, and, well, Jinx has a birthday party.
