Review of Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation (1962) by Tiph C — 06 Jul 2010
Not even close to what I was anticipating!!! Having read some of the reviews about this being a family movie, and generally loving "older" movies, I decided to give it a go... only to find, to my great, disappointment, it is not a family movie at all! About an old-fashioned [dysfunctional] family who rent a house on the beach for a Summer.
... considering the cast, this movie had so much potential to be hilarious, clean, and entertaining.... and unfortunately, it failed greatly! Mr. Hobbs let off a number of swear words, there were a number of "adult themes" including, infidelity & divorce, which were the bulk of the movie.
Additionally, the movie was very slow moving, and even lacked great acting at times (surprising considering the great names that comprise the cast). Overall very disheartening!
