Mr. Hobbs Takes A Vacation

List Price: $14.98
Lowest Price: $5.50

Description:

When James Stewart decides to take his family on vacation in California, he needs another vacation to recover. Co-stars Fabian.

Amazon.com:

James Stewart reunites with his Harvey director, Henry Koster, in this 1962 comedy, which is charming enough even though it doesn't seem quite up to the level of talent involved. (The screenwriter is the legendary Nunnally Johnson--writer and director of The Three Faces of Eve, among many other titles--and the music is by Henry Mancini.) But it is pleasant, summery entertainment with Stewart and his screen wife, Maureen O'Hara, taking their urban family to a crumbling, seaside house for a vacation. The film was calculated to pull in older fans with Stewart as well as draw in a younger crowd that would enjoy the fairly extensive beach scenes with pop-star Fabian. Stewart is deft with the easy jokes about bad plumbing and such, and golden in several nice moments where he gets to play an attentive dad to his kids. --Tom Keogh

Fun movie!
My husband and I both enjoy this movie and like to watch this movie and National Lampoons Vacation before or after we take a vacation. They are different styles but both are fun movies.

A classic that is a must for any worthwhile comedy collection
The genius of James Stewart could never be overlooked. Few actors can pull off the full spectrum from drama to comedy successfully. Stewart never let his audience down and this film, although perhaps not his most captivating, remains among the best in comedy film classics.

Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation
This movie was purchased as a gift for my husband. We've seen it quite a few times on TBS and just loved it. Jimmy Stewart and Maureen O'Hara are so funny together and one of our favorite lines is when Jimmy Stewart tells the housekeeper "sun on the beach" and she perceives it as something quite different! Ha! It's a great family movie, although you may have to explain a few things to the younger generation while watching, like pull chains on the toilets and no electricity. But this movie was made in the 60's and a lot of great ones came out of that era. Check out Mr. Hobbs I think you'll all enjoy it!
