Perfect for kids and kids at heart
The best christmas movie ever made. It delivers posotive messages about what it takes to be a good citizen and how good deeds can make a diffrence. There is some drinking at the end when he is really deprest but that is the only negative I can find in this.

Great for just about all ages if you think they could follow it
This is a great classic Christmas movies that you should show your kids. I gave it a 9 + just because you younger kids might get bored, and might not follow it.

Sounds good...
I never watched it yet but my dad watched it when he was a kid and he told me that it is a really great classic for the family. And also the title makes it sound good.

sorry everyone, but this movie is a peice of crap
At first I liked it, but then I watched it again and I was like wow... and you do know it was a flunk at the boxoffice when it was first released. I'm vastly starting to agree with you, peoples...

Christmas Classic is Wonderful!
"It's a Wonderful Life" is a fresh breath of air that still inspires, and touches the hearts of everyone who watches it. This enduring classic was at first not a classic! But when televisions broadcasted the film annually (like the "Wizard of Oz", another classic), it was beloved by all, and was made to be always watched on Christmas in almost every household! Jimmy Stewart gives a marvelous performance as always, and if he hadn't we wouldn't have been as inspired by the film at the end. The dialog is so amazing and sophisticated, and even sometimes a bit corny, but it's the perfect type of corny. And who can forget the wonderful the wonderful, heart-felt story, that contains some of the most magical scenes ever filmed. So either if you love Christmas or not, this family classic should definitely be seen.

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.

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.
