The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
James Stewart was always an actor that chose the roles in the films made for the entire family and they were, with almost no exception, positive ones. In his cooperation with the famous Frank Capra, he chose to portray a character in a practically Christmas fairy tale made for the big screen. With the depiction of on two parallel possible stories, James with ease presents the world with and without his character, ending in a kinda sweetish, but nonetheless positive and touching way. "It's a wonderful life" is one of those movies we loved as kinds and grew to love them even more when we have the kids of our own.
I have seen many movies. But this movie is the no. 1 in my list. When I was passing a very bad time in my life some how I saw this movie. After watch this I feel all my sorrows gone away. I felt like It's A Wonderful Life. Very good story. This movie teach me a very good lesson. Must watch before die.
This is such nice Christmasy film to watch, gets you right in the spirit and never pleases to entertain, no matter how many times you may watch it.
I always enjoyed watching this with my Mom & Dad really good I taped it so we could watched it any time.
