Full Plot Details

St. Louis based banker Roger Hobbs is writing a letter to his wife, Peggy Hobbs, about his true feelings concerning their just returned from month long vacation, the letter to be opened only after his death, whenever that may be. Mr. Hobbs wanted the vacation to be a romantic getaway for two, but Peggy insisted that it be a family vacation to a central California beach-side house, given to them for the month by friends. The vacation included all their offspring, and their offspring's respective families where applicable. Hobbs hated the idea as he felt he didn't know his offspring - and their spouses even less - and that they, in turn, no longer needed him. They include: daughter Susan Carver, who, with her husband, Stan Carver, have a permissive parenting style as per the latest child psychology books; daughter Janie Grant, whose husband, college professor, Byron Grant, has an academic view of everything in life; fourteen year old daughter, Katey Hobbs, who is self conscious around boys if only because of her new braces, that self consciousness which boys see as standoffishness; and preteen son Danny Hobbs, whose sole focus in life is watching television. The house ended up being a rat trap which exasperated their cook Brenda the most. But beyond that issue, Mr. Hobbs ended up learning the true nature of his relationship to his offspring and to Peggy. In the process, he had to endure the extended visit by an odd couple named the Turners, and learned that some problems can be solved purely by yelling "hey Joe" into an unknown group of boys.

User Review - 10/10 by p bMr. Hobbs is my grandfather, and when I watch this, I think about all the stories, all the family, all the great things that happen on a vacation when you're spending time with the people you love the most and sometimes have the hardest time tolerating. I've been on this vacation. You need to go on this vacation too!

User Review - 10/10 by Nancy BExcellent, excellent, excellent! A terrific old movie with a lot of great humor. The problems with the house reminded me of "Barefoot in the Park" with Jane Fonda, but it definitely stood on its own. I loved it!
User Review - 10/10 by Jacob FI first saw this back in '99. Which was ironic considering a certain part of the movie. This one is a great American family classic.
