Movie Reviews of You Can't Take It With You
Movie Review: very good movie
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm playing a character in the play that this movie is based on, and so I watched this DVD to get a hint of what it could look like. First, the story is excellent! Do what you want in life; don't work your whole life doing something you hate! That is basically the Sycamore family's philosophy. But when the younger daughter in this household falls in love with the son of the wealthy Kirby family, trouble brews, landing the Kirbys and Sycamores both in jail! In the end, Kirby Sr. learns that maybe the Sycamores have something and gives the young couple his blessing, leaving everybody happy. The play is a little different from the movie, but with the addition of a simple harmonica, the movie is able to give the viewer a wonderful feeling in the end and reinforces the fact that everyone should do what makes him or her happy in life! I will say that the quality of the movie is not the greatest at times, but that's to be expected since it is an older movie. Other than that, it's great!Movie Review: Great laughs, especially toward the end...
Summary: 4 Stars
This prize-winning play about a nutty family of eccentrics in the 1930's isn't done on stage much anymore (it is a nightmare to produce properly with typical community theater casts and budgets, and it's dated a lot), but the film version, nearly 70 years old now, is worth seeing. Just as good, but apparently not on DVD yet, is a stage version from about 15 years ago starring Jason Robards. I used to own the video tape of that one, and it was quite well done. However, it's hard to beat Jean Arthur and Jimmy Stewart and Lionel Barrymore, for Pete's sake. As an example of '30's-style comic playwriting and movie-making, you can take "You Can't Take it with You" with you, if you buy this.Movie Review: Almost thoroughly engaging
Summary: 4 Stars
I found the (obligatory?) scenes with young children a corny turnoff like when Barrymore and other times Stewart and Arthur are greeting these youthful hordes. Everywhere else I found the film flawless. The story like Capra's Lost Horizon has the message of the importance of happiness. BTW to another poster Frank Capra Sr. is dead and from way down below it's doubtful he knows what his son is doing with Sr.'s old films.Movie Review: You Can't Take It With You
Summary: 4 Stars
This DVD has excellent sound and picture quality. For a movie that was made in the late 30's, it has been well preserved. Any DVD I order from Amazon has excellent quality.Movie Review: Great movie but poor video
Summary: 4 Stars
The story and original movie were great, but the production of the video did not appear to use the original master. This is the only reason for four stars instead of five.
