Movie Review: Love It!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the classic movies. This is very entertaining; really shows Jimmy Stewart's talent.Movie Review: Gotta love Jimmy Stewart
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a beloved memory from decades ago. Classic Jimmy Stewart and typical for movies of its time. No deep meaning, no social commentary, just a light-hearted look at how life used to be. Movie Review: Mr. Hobbs takes a Vacation
Summary: 3 Stars
Jimmy Stewart and Maureen O"Hara , push the envelope as parents in this typical 60,s era film. It has it funny moments but not there best work. Movie Review: sure, times change, but nothing's different
Summary: 4 Stars
here we are in the 2000's, watching a movie about a middle American family from the 60's taking a vacation to the Pacific coast, his teen age kids his older daughters,a grandchild, the sons in laws, and all the emotions that go along with getting away with the family that you've gotten away from over the years. Movie Review: Fun movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I both enjoy this movie and like to watch this movie and National Lampoons Vacation before or after we take a vacation. They are different styles but both are fun movies.
Summary of Mr Hobbs Takes a Vacation
James Stewart reunites with his Harvey director, Henry Koster, in this 1962 comedy, which is charming enough even though it doesn't seem quite up to the level of talent involved. (The screenwriter is the legendary Nunnally Johnson--writer and director of The Three Faces of Eve, among many other titles--and the music is by Henry Mancini.) But it is pleasant, summery entertainment with Stewart and his screen wife, Maureen O'Hara, taking their urban family to a crumbling, seaside house for a vacation. The film was calculated to pull in older fans with Stewart as well as draw in a younger crowd that would enjoy the fairly extensive beach scenes with pop-star Fabian. Stewart is deft with the easy jokes about bad plumbing and such, and golden in several nice moments where he gets to play an attentive dad to his kids. --Tom KeoghNothing Goes Right Video
