You Can't Take it With You was cute. We laughed out loud several times, and the husband remarked of the main character (played by Lionel Barrymore, who we've seen before in Grand Hotel) "I like him. He's chaos personified."
The youngest scion of a family of free-spirited eccentrics has been dating the son of a wealthy banker. Turns out unbeknownst to either party the banker has been wanting to buy the family's house and tear it down to build a munitions factory. Needless to say when the families meet, hijinks ensue.
Jimmy Stewart, seven years before his iconic role as George Bailey in It's a Wonderful Life, plays the banker's lovestruck son. It's actually a surprisingly subtle performance given how cheerfully uninhibited the character is, and Stewart does a good job portraying a brash, spoiled young man who has to figure out what's really important.
