After we had seen the film "Mr Hobbs Takes a Vacacation" I asked my wife what she thought about the film. Her answer was to give it 10/10. It is just a lovely film to watch, and james Stewart's character/acting was tailor made for this film...with dry humour and body language. If you Have a family, I'm quite sure you'll relate to this, as we ourselves certainly could. A Very enjoyable, Happy feel good, watchable Movie.
Format:DVD
Jimmy Stewart is one of my all-time favourite actors and I could watch and listen to him reciting a recipe, let alone starring alongside the unique Maureen O'Hara.
This gentle family comedy is a little Disney-like but as the mild mannered but very much put upon Mr Hobbs, Stewart is perfect, eschewing a decent American wholesomeness but without the sickliness that sometimes accompany such a character from this era.
Blending in neatly the Cary Grant turn in Mr Blandings Builds his Dream House, the Hobbs' escape the big city and end up staying at a falling-down old house on the beach; cue broken everything, that usually can't be fixed, at least not without a great deal of comically extended hassle.
The family encompasses the two Hobbs' children, who obviously do as all youngsters inevitably do - cause as much trouble for their parents as possible. It's quite a long film and afterward, you might be a little annoyed that you spent so long on watching it; the scenes are often extended almost beyond what is reasonable, but at the time you won't notice, let alone mind.
It's quite often shown on Channel/Film 4, where I have just seen it, again.
