While Mr. Hobbs' efforts do result in a few moments of family bonding, most of the time they feel as futile as his vain battle to make it through the pages of Tolstoy's War and Peace--his holiday reading choice.

Jimmy Stewart is the loving father that just can't quite get a handle on all of the things going on in his family, a part he has played more that once but to perfection in this film. The family vacation in an old ramshackle beach house sets up poor Jimmy ...

This movie is a beloved memory from decades ago. Classic Jimmy Stewart and typical for movies of its time. No deep meaning, no social commentary, just a light-hearted look at how life used to be. ...

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. ...

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 ...
