James Stewart is the son of an ultrawealthy banker and his ultrasnooty wife, but as love would have it James falls for Jean Arthur who has quite the eccentric family. And even worst...they're middle-class! Yikes!
To say that YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU is idealistic and overly sentimental is an understatement, but you know what? I still love it and I always get a little teary-eyed during that harmonica scene. Yea, the story is completely unbelievable, but who cares? It's a fun time.
Quick pace, great ensemble cast full of familiar faces and happy tears. What more could you ask for? Well, some closure on that Grandpa's IRS situation would be nice, but it never happens. I guess his troubles just disappear kinda like they do in films of this kind. Highly recommended.
