You Can't Take It with You

Average rating: Stars

A MOVIE TO MAKE YOUR HEART LEAP!

this is one of my most FAVORITE movies in the world! lionel barrymore gives a superb and touching portrayal of 'grandpa' martin vanderhof, the grandpa we wish we all had. the comedy is crazy, slapstick, and chaotic...all things i love. at times the movie seems to be in a whirlwind of ad-libbing..everyone doing something different and not sticking with the script. all this adds to the charm and whimsy of the movie for me. i want to live in the big old victorian house with all of them..dad lighting firecrackers in the basement, mom using kittens as paperweights, sis practicing her dance moves with that crazy russian teacher, brother in law banging on the xylophone, and me sliding down the banister screaming, "weeeeee"!! haha, all fun aside, the movie's real message is about family, love, and not judging other people..but the biggest message i got out of it is to live outside your box.. let yourself really go after the things that you love and are passionate about--you can really have a life doing what you love...even if it's making toys or firecrackers! it sounds like heavan to me...but you'll have to watch the movie for yourself to get the picture!

RIP OFF!

SHAME, SHAME, SHAME!!! How could such a wonderful film receive such an awful transfer? Even more unbelievable is how can anybody charge Criterion Collection prices for a film with no restoration? Answer: RIP OFF!

Almost thoroughly engaging

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.
