Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation (DVD, 2005)

I personally love older movies. I also have my daughter hooked on them as well. Mr Hobbs Takes a Vacation is a great movie about the trials between parents and their children, those who are still at home as well as those who are not at home. Jimmy Stewart and Maureen O'Hara are wonderful in this movie. The story is told through the eyes of Jimmy Stewart after they get back from the vacation, so you hear him narrating the story as you watch. If you like older movies give this one a try, You should not be disappointed.

I have been saying for the past 2 years I wanted this movie. I just thought to look for it on your site, and was so happy to get it!!! It came pretty quick. And I am so pleased to have it in my collection and to share with my family.
Thank you so much for being here!

While this movie was originally released in the 1960s, the humor is still relevant today! Jimmy Stewart and Maureen O'Hara were expertly cast in their roles as caring parents of children ranging in age from fully grown, married and with children of their own - to a pre-teen and new-teen. When they take a beach vacation with the entire family (including the grandchildren) - the fun begins! Classically funny humor that will have you and your kids laughing out loud!

Reviews vary by taste. This has an excellent cast, I love Jimmy Stewart and typically love any movie that he is in. However, I do not like movies where people bicker all the time. This movie is about a worn out executive that is tired of vacationing with his family. They certainly do go through the dreaded extended family gatherings of which we all are too aware. I never have been fond of any comedy that uses arguing as a main focal point for the movie.

James Stewart stars as Mr Hobbs, a publisher. Who decides to take a vacation with his wife Maureen O'Hare. Together, with their children.
Everything goes, well...until he has to prime the water pump. Then there is
the dance. And his Daughter and her marriage is falling apart. Every day life
seems to close in closer and closer on Hobbs. A vacation that is too put you at rest, seems like you can never get away from your problems. Mr. Hobbs, fairs well through the stormy waters of life. A fantastic family film.
Jimmy Stewart and Maureen O'Hare are uniquely matched in this film as husband and wife, coping with their children and the unique cureves life throws at us all.

This is a very good movie and funny, too. It is great for baby boomers because it takes you back to a better time of life and brings back many great memories of how it used to be. Every age will enjoy this movie.

This is a wonderful old movie that my wife and I watch every year at spring time.
Thanks to his family, Mr. Hobbs's (James Stewart) life is about to get a lot more irritating. His insistent wife, Peggy, convinces the fussy Midwest banker to pack up the kids and head for the Pacific shore for a summer vacation. In addition to their four children, the Hobbses also bring along their two married daughters' husbands and two grandchildren. They arrive at a spooky cottage equipped with a mousetrap-like water pump. Then things turn worse. One daughter's egghead spouse splits. The other's horny hubby starts flirting with a babe on the beach. The youngest daughter has an inferiority complex due to her braces, and Hobbs' son thinks Dad's a dork. Eventually Hobbs quits complaining about his clan and realizes Peggy's homilies about familial togetherness actually make sense.

This movie was in good shape and after viewing it found the DVD to be just as described. I would buy more of these movies if I could find them like this.

AAAAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ ******************** Positive experience & I will use agin. I love old moveies. I love good movies. I am working on building an eclectic movies collection. This seller had an old, classice movie at a very good price. It shipped promptly.

We sent the Dvd Mr Hobbs Takes a Vacation to our son for his birthday. He was
delighted as he is a big fan of Jimmy Stewart and he had never seen it. The DVD arrived in excellent condition so we are quite please with our purchase.

It is a story about a family vacation and the problems they encounter. Jimmy Stewart and Maureen o'Hara head a great cast which also includes Fabian and John Saxon. It is a feel good movie and very humorous. Very entertaining!

Classic old Hollywood movie. Great characters that you don't see on the big screen in this day and age.

My whole family loves this movie..we have owned it on VHS for a number of years and the VCR finally ate our only copy so we had to buy it on DVD. My son calls his grandfather BOOMPAH just like MR Hobbs son and we got it from this movie..It is an all around fun movie for the whole family..to bad they dont make them like this anymore

One of my all time favorite movies. Love the Stewart's dry humor--he was a master at it. Just a downright great family movie.

So excited when I found this dvd . Brought back great memories of my childhood.
It was nice to found that some of the old classics are still being made. Can hardly wait to find some more.

THIS IS A FAMILY FAVORITE AND WAS VERY HARD TO FIND ANYWHERE. OF COURSE E BAY HAD THE RIGHT SOURCE AND NOW WE HAVE A COPY WE CAN ENJOY AND LEND OUT.

I decided to buy this movie because I caught it on TV one weekday morning and I really enjoyed it and wanted my family to watch. My teenagers got a kick out of the way the teenagers in the movie acted. I like the movie because it shows that now matter what the era we are in families are going to have their ups and downs but you are still family.

A classic 60's comedy that the whole family can watch. Jimmy Stewart underplays the similar role that Chevy Chase portrayed many years later as the Dad in National Lampoon's Vacation. If anything can go wrong for Dad, it does. Maureen O'Hara plays the wife, and even Fabian makes an appearance. I was glad to find this old favorite on DVD.
