Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

lnoft97 This movie just REEKS of 50's sit-com, so dated it might as well be a documentary of African tribesmen. Not that the kids and situations aren't cute in a 'Father Knows Best'/'Leave It To Beaver' way, but it looks cheap, like a 50's sit-com. Cary Grant plays a daddy of a tribe of kids, who have their trials and tribulations, in suburbia, and while Mr. Grant is always a welcome sight in a movie, he is sorely miscast here. Such a sophisticated, droll, elegant man playing a mundane married boob, he is as out of place as a deep red Mr. Lincoln rose in a bouquet of dandelions. The real-life Mrs. Cary Grant, Betsy Drake, does an adequate job as the swell 50's mom. She is indistinguishable from a dozen other bobbed-hair, polite, well-behaved female stars of the time, in their pearls, heels, and shirtwaist dresses. (speaking of miscast, supposedly she and Cary were very happy together in the time they were married. I simply don't see the attraction, but he was married to a few other puzzling choices). As stated elsewhere in these reviews, if you've always dreamed of seeing him in a 50's situation comedy as you would find on TV back in the day, this is a perfect example of what might have been

trimbolicelia Love this film. Sort of a minor film for Cary Grant. Won't spoil it for anyone but what few people seem to know is that it is based on a book written in the 30's by the actual mother of the family. The title of the book is Room for One More by Anna Perrot Rose. Hard to find but worth the read.

utgard14 The loving, even-tempered parents of three kids decide to adopt two more: a troubled teenage girl and a handicapped boy. Pleasant family dramedy that plays like a '50s TV sitcom. Grant is likable and charming as ever. I disagree with reviewers who say he seems out of his element. He seems to be having fun and has good chemistry with the child actors, as well as real-life wife at the time, Betsy Drake. I don't see the problem unless you only want to see Grant in certain types of roles. The kids are all good, especially George Winslow as Teenie. He has many of the movie's best lines. Sentimental and funny, it's a real heart-warmer.

edwagreen Heartwarming tale which proves that environment is a great factor than heredity with regard to placement of children.Cary Grant and Betsy Drake are absolutely fabulous as the couple with 3 children and limited finances; despite this, they take in two difficult foster children.With patience and a firm hand, they are able to succeed beyond the expectation of what many would feel.They did a wonderful job raising their own three children as well. The three knew when to help out.The film excellently pointed out the problems of coping with a foster children; one who comes into your home with an array of problems looking for love and understanding.This is definitely a film that will tug at your heart. It is so nostalgic yet it represents the best of human kindness and dignity. You'll have a tear in your eye, but you will certainly come away with that good feeling of accomplishment.Bless those who take in foster children and are able to work with them.
