*** This review contains spoilers ***You Can’t Take It With You follows the Sycamore/Vandrerhof household; the ultimate eccentric family. In fact eccentric probably isn’t the right word, they’re complete nuts. They live a counter-cultural lifestyle of not working or paying taxes (and somehow getting away with it) and doing whatever makes them happy without a care in the world; people who are... read more

Alice Sycamore has to introduce the family of her fiance, Tony Kirby, to her own family. The Kirby's are wealthy, stuffy family of great self- importance, while the Sycamore's are a collection of good-hearted lunatics. When the two families come together, lifestyle and philosophy collide head-on.

BradWesley123’s Movie Journal- April 2021 (35 movies items)

" HBO Max- 2hr. 6min. First Viewing Fine, but dated. Though it may have been a breath of fresh air in 1938, You Can't Take It with You is rather pat today. It's baggy in the way that many older films are, hampering it's humor mightily. The leads couple (Arthur and Stewart) don't have much chemistry and, worse, they don't get much in the way of character development (Arthur's character, in particular, goes through changes that feel either way too rushed and/or way too lagging). The movie fares bet"
