Movie Reviews of I Remember Mama
Movie Review: A superb family drama
Summary: 5 Stars
How wonderful that this is being released on DVD. Irene Dunne
had one of her greatest roles as Martha Hansen. She is perfect
in every way. Nice support from Barbara Bel Geddes and Ellen
Corby who would become big tv stars in the years to come. Edgar
Bergen and Rudy Vallee are fine too and Oscar Homolka nearly
steals the show as the cantankerous Uncle Chris. It brings back
memories of Friday nights when Peggy Wood came on making Maxwell
House coffee and then the show started. MAMA was the highlight of
the week. How sad they were live since most episodes are lost forever.
Movie Review: One Of Those Perfect Movies
Summary: 5 Stars
Even though my family was English and French, I recognised each and every person portraid in this movie. I first saw I Remember Mama on the late movie back in the 50's when I was a kid and that era was still close enought to the time line of the story, that buildings and clothes were familier to me ( my great aunts dressed exactly like the women in the movie ). I don't know if younger viewers will enjoy it as much, but for me this is one of those perfect movies. I recently had occasion to to play I Remember Mama for my 88 year old father, who had never seen it.... he wept and asked to watch it again.Movie Review: My favorite movie !!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Out of all the kajillion movies out there this is my favorite. I'm only 37 but this movie touched me on many levels. Family dynamics, situational humor, subtleties on many levels, and the specific personalities involved with all the family members. It's so sweet and interesting. You have to have patience though. It is a bit long and not so in your face like movies of today. Finally, this movie shows the epitome of what family is and should be about: love, sacrifice and respect.
Movie Review: Wonderful Movie!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is one of my personal favorites. It shows how European immigrants in the early 20th century voluntarily became a part of our country/culture, and how they appreciated being here. As I had European grandparents and witnessed all the family interacting (with 11 aunts/uncles who were born in this country), the story is very true to real life. I warmly recommend this movie to anyone who wants to see how the immigrants had a strong desire to become a part of the U.S. society.Movie Review: "I Remember Mama" vs "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn"
Summary: 5 Stars
I like watching this film in conjunction with "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn", as the contrasts between the two films in terms of family life, when the father works, as in "I Remember Mama" and when he doesn't, as in "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" are stark. It goes to show that fathers are an important part of family life, even if he is a "dreamer" (such as Johnny Nolan), despite all the politically correct garbage today which touts that fathers are unnecessary. Love both these movies!
