Description: When James Stewart decides to take his family on vacation in California, he needs another vacation to recover. Co-stars Fabian.
Amazon.com: James Stewart reunites with his Harvey director, Henry Koster, in this 1962 comedy, which is charming enough even though it doesn't seem quite up to the level of talent involved. (The screenwriter is the legendary Nunnally Johnson--writer and director of The Three Faces of Eve, among many other titles--and the music is by Henry Mancini.) But it is pleasant, summery entertainment with Stewart and his screen wife, Maureen O'Hara, taking their urban family to a crumbling, seaside house for a vacation. The film was calculated to pull in older fans with Stewart as well as draw in a younger crowd that would enjoy the fairly extensive beach scenes with pop-star Fabian. Stewart is deft with the easy jokes about bad plumbing and such, and golden in several nice moments where he gets to play an attentive dad to his kids. --Tom Keogh

Rating: - Gotta love Jimmy Stewart
This movie is a beloved memory from decades ago. Classic Jimmy Stewart and typical for movies of its time. No deep meaning, no social commentary, just a light-hearted look at how life used to be.
Rating: - Mr. Hobbs takes a Vacation
Jimmy Stewart and Maureen O"Hara , push the envelope as parents in this typical 60,s era film. It has it funny moments but not there best work.
