Amazing
Fabulous movie, my favorite holiday movie in history! I'm just 10, and I can appreciate the message in this movie. Nothing wrong at all, and a great message about life.

Classic
This film oughta be shown in utero. I've been watching it every Christmas since at least kindergarten. Jimmy Stewart is unequivocally on point, Donna Reed is angelic, and the message is heartwarming and timeless.

The suicide theme is a bit tough for sensitive kids to gel with. Suicide is a prevalent problem among children now a days, especially those faced with problems, so I would be careful showing kids any movie now with a suicide theme. Other than that, this is a great classic for the whole family to share that has affirmation and value.

My favorite Christmas movie...
I watch this every Thanksgiving!!!!! The movie is appropriate for all ages, but eight and up would understand it better.

It's a OK.
When I watched it's a Wonderful Life. I got quite interested. This isn't the best movie to watch thought if your looking for a appropriate movie. It is a little iffy but it does show what it was like in the 1900's.

One of the sweetest movies I have ever truly seen!
This is truly one of the most heartwarming films I have ever seen. It relays a strong message about life and how it should be treasured each moment. There are a few fight scenes, including a tough strike on George by his boss. There is one funny scene where there is a naked woman hiding behind a shrub after accidentally having her clothing torn off, but absolutley nothing is shown at all. A sad scene is when George takes his own life thinking that he has failed in life, but his guardian angel shows him what life would be like if he was never born. Fortunately he comes back. So basically a very heartwarming film. A very sweet scene for me was at the end where a little girl says "Everytime a bell rings, an angel gets his wings". That was an adorably sweet and heartwarming scene to watch. Overall I think this movie is perfect for all ages and it was wonderful for me because of the sweet messages and because i'm just a kid who loves black and white movies:) Perfect film for everyone!

Classic!
I have been watching this movie every year since forever. My Christmas favorite. There is nothing that is objectionable for kids in the movie, but obviously 5 year old is largely uninterested. She wanders around the living room when we watch it, pausing only if something very interesting to her is happening. Sadly my 12 year old little sister is also still uninterested, although I recall liking it at her age. So really it depends on the child.
