Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: As the hero, Mr. Stewart does a warmly appealing job, indicating that he has grown in spiritual stature as well as in talent during the years he was in the war. And Donna Reed is remarkably poised and gracious as his adoring sweet-heart and wife.
Fresh: It's a Wonderful Life is a pretty wonderful movie.
Fresh: The April-air wholesomeness and humanism of this natural bring back vividly the reminder that, essentially, the screen best offers unselfconscious, forthright entertainment.
Fresh: It's a Wonderful Life is a wonderful title for a motion picture about which practically everyone who sees it will agree that it's wonderful entertainment.
Customer Reviews
If you don't love this movie, you have no soul.
How can your heart not be warmed after watching this film? This is one of the greatest fantasies of all time, and Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed's chemistry is abolutely impeccable. And if you've ever felt down and out, you'll realize by watching this film just how much this world needs each and every one of us. It will give you a new take on life and make you thankful for your wonderful life. Sappy? Maybe. Sentimental? Of course. But it works, and that's what makes this one of the most inspiring films ever made.
It's a Wonderful Life
I am 60 years old and I love this movie and have watched it so many times in my life, I can't remember. If Hollywood made movies like this again it would truly be a Wonderful Life. It is also refreshing to see people who can actually act!
My Favorite Movie....
This is without a doubt my favorite movie of all times. It is simple and timeless. "No man is a failure who has friends" that is so true.
