You Can't Take It with You Ratings & Reviews

  • KylachamJune 15, 2025
    Makes you feel good, the way only Capra can. Light on plot, but big on heart, this film and its quirky characters obviously inspired shows like The Addams Family, minus the goth aesthetic. Thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining from beginning to end.
