Title: Entertaining Capra-Corn!
Review: While this doesn't feel as timeless or as compelling as Capra's other films, it is a lot of fun. A very young James Stewart and Jean Arthur shine, but Lionel Barrymore steals the show as the crusty old grandfather of an eccentric family. As with almost all Capra films, the business man is the 'bad guy', and the happy family that believes in good old-fashion American values and aren't afraid to forget about everything else and do 'what they like to do' are the 'good guys'. It feels very stagy, but it does have it's funny moments, and Jimmy Stewart and Jean Arthur make a dangerously cute couple. An entertaining slice of Americana by Mr. Capra. From a scale of 1-10 I give this film a 7!
