I enjoyed this movie because it has great views of life in a different century. A very young Elizabeth Taylor and Irene Dunn along with William Powell make this an entertaining 2 hours!

The first DVD I purchased of this movie had distorted pixels, so I returned it. I asked for a second DVD and it, too, has distortion with the video and no audio. Should I try again?

I have always loved this movie. I have always had good quality items from Amazon but this DVD was bad. The picture was of poor quality and you can hardly understand what they were actually saying.
I returned the movie. I don't know if it was this one DVD or are they all like that.

The quality of the video was very poor. The sound was bad and part of the video was so bad you couldn't watch it. I really love this movie and was very disappointed

Life with father is, a true story and I can vouch for it being just like real life, at least life with a father like mine, {born in 1919}.
Like Vinnie, in the movie, my mother always got what she wanted too, and my father was always fussing about it, just like Mr.Clarence Day, and to hear him tell his eldest son about women, when he first notices his son taking an interest in girls, or rather in a girl, was just like hearing my father tell my brother about women!
It is so true to real life, at least, like I said, in my home, that I just about died laughing! Interestingly, it was so well done that my father, who was watching it with me, really enjoyed it as well!
Of course his wife, my mother, died at a young{compared to my father's 89 years}62, so perhaps in missing her he sees the story in a different light.
The sweet way in which they show the love between Clarence and his wife, Vinny, is so beautiful, and really touching, I highly recommend the story, the only reason why I didn't put five stars is because of the picture quality and sound, but it is not as bad as others, who are not as used to old movies as I am, would lead you to believe.
I really do not know if they can reproduce it any better, perhaps with some they can only do the best they can, but looking back I can't see it as a problem at all, we are just so used to everything these days being so richly textured, the story itself is so well done that you really don't notice anything else but the pure joy of the interplay between the characters and the rich dialog!
Highly Reccomended and just...thank you, Hollywood, for putting it out on DVD!
Irene Dunne was wonderful as the mother, as always! And even the children handle their parts excellently, there really isn't a boring character in the whole lot!
The mother may always get her way in the end, but she isn't perfect either, and that is brought out in her lack of understanding money. It is beautiful how they show so well the strengths and weaknesses of both mother and father, and how they work together,like the lock and the key, or are trying to get along amid each others differences, it is touching and amusing all at once.
Every woman could learn a lesson by watching Vinnie, she is a role model for the fascinating woman, or a woman striving to be more true to the way God, or nature, fitted us to be, to bless our men, {helping them over their weaknesses at the same time letting them believe we did nothing of the kind}! Somehow such a way helps them want to be, what we need them to be; it all began in the garden of Eden!
