Featured review
I am reading reviews of Mr Hobbs takes a vacation and can't believe some of the stuff I'm reading .. "boring script?" ... "miscasted" .. I firmly believe anyone who doesn't like this movie was not born in the 60's or never took a vacation with his family .. This is a simple story of a simple time .. sorry no sex violence .. Jimmy Stewart doesn't turn into a Zombie ... it's just a pure and simple movie filmed during a pure and simple time .. and yet some of the issues are still here today: family troubles, growing up with braces, identifying and communicating with a Grandfather ..
I smile ear to ear when I see this BECAUSE it doesn't have sex or violence .. it merely transports me to a simpler time when my Mom and Dad poured us all into the back of the station wagon .. me complaining the whole time .. and yet when it was over I was so sad to leave and have memories I still cherish ..
So sad they don't make these type of movies anymore... it simply wouldn't sell ...

- TriviaThe portrait hanging along the staircase of the beach cottage is of Captain Daniel Gregg, played by Rex Harrison, from L'aventure de Madame Muir (1947).
- GoofsWhen the Hobbs' family returns home, you can see red clay tile roofs, Spanish architecture, and Palm Trees in the background. While the first two could be possible in St. Louis, Palm Trees certainly don't grow there.
- Quotes
Peggy Hobbs: Didn't you get his last name?
Roger Hobbs: No, I just called hey Joe, it's from my experience that there's usually one Joe in a group of fellows.
