Approach it as a Drama, not a Comedy. The message is relevant, but it’s a comedy of manners and a ~85 years later, society has changed enough where there is no/minimal humour in those situations. A couple touching moments of humanity, but not near as hard-hitting as It’s A Wonderful Life, which I had been hoping for. 6/10

Good acting and sends a good message. Lionel Barrymore is a that guys that's always super upbeat and super annoying but means well. A little too long for its own good.

The cheery, upbeat tale of a proudly bohemian family and their efforts to find common ground with the snooty, stuffed-shirt parents of a future son-in-law. I don't usually go for such brash, in-your-face optimism, but something about this ragtag group of merry, welcoming, open-hearted characters More

If I was forced to pick one all-time favorite movie, out of the dozens I love, it would probably have to be this one. This is the film adaption of the Pulitzer Prize-winning stage play by George Kaufman and Moss Hart, and the film went on to win the Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Director More
