| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Victor DwyerThe story's authenticity was enhanced by the real-life marriage of Grant and Drake and their resulting on-screen rapport. |
| The New York TimesBosley CrowtherRoom for One More makes for generally appealing movie fare. So long as this anecdotal look-in upon the experience of a husband and wife in bringing up two foster children, as well as three of their own, sticks simply to the humorous complications that arise in a house full of kids, plus appropriate livestock and paraphernalia, it has genuine gaiety and domestic charm. |
| User ReviewShawntel COne of my favorite Cary Grant movies of all time, I love this movie. If this ever comes out on video, It will be played over and over again. |
| User ReviewBubba MWonderful movie! Have searched for it and one day I'll find it! lol great flick, everyone should watch this classic tale of one familys love and devotion to one another. |
| User ReviewRebecca BI love this movie! Anybody know where to find it? It's also called "The Easy Way" |
| User ReviewMegan KWhat a great movie. They are such a cute family and I love the back and forth between the mother and father. What a great couple :) They actually look like a real family, dealing with normal troubles and such. Loved it ;) |
| User ReviewAshley HRoom for One More is a touching film. It is about an American family with three children of their own who adopt 2 more children. Cary Grant and Betsy Drake give remarkable performance. The screenplay is well written. Norman Taurog did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the comedy and family elements. |
| User ReviewScott SContinuing my theme of recording anything that turns up on TCM starring Cary Grant, I grabbed this awhile back and finally gave it a day in court this past week. Real life couple Grant and Betsy Drake play a couple with three children who end up adopting three children who have had a hard time fitting in with other foster families but meet their match in the Job-like patience of Drake. The movie has some truly tear-jerking moments with the kids, but manages to balance this against enough humor to keep the audience from becoming too despondent. Really good film, recommended. |
| User ReviewKristal CComplete and total schmaltz to be sure, but I was sucked in by the sweetness of the kids and the adorable chemistry between Cary Grant and Betsy Drake. I love discovering movies like this on TCM - it makes for a nice vacation from the cynicism of most of the films that get made today (yes, I know I sound old). |
