Entertainment Reviews:
Maybe this isn't 60s family entertainment at its absolute worst, but it's still pretty awful.

Chicago Reader
Since there are no recognizable humans in it, Mr. Hobbs is really strictly for the bird watchers.

TIME Magazine
This is a fun picture, although it misfires, chiefly in the situation development department.

Variety
Rating: 3/5 --
Some of the incidents are funny, some are so-so, some are flat. And, of course, in the end, it is concluded that for all this, the family is still strong.

New York Times
Rating: 3/4 --
Whirlwind direction, witty quips from screenwriter Nunnally Johnson, and the seasoned Stewart's likability ensure that the laughs keep coming in this fun film.

Moderately enjoyable.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
A wholesome family comedy with Stewart and O'Hara as a couple whose quiet vacation becomes a noisy free-for-all for the kids.

Time Out
Description by OLDIES.com:
When world-weary St. Louis banker and father Roger Hobbs (James Stewart) suggests to his wife (Maureen O'Hara) that the two of them enjoy a quiet vacation at the beach, she thinks a family reunion is a better idea. So they compromise - and no less than ten family members show up on their not-so-romantic getaway! From antiquated plumbing in the rental house to feuds between their married daughter and her husband to out-of-control kids and crazed teenage love, it begins to seem to Hobbs that getting back to the daily grind might bring relief from this "vacation."
Product Description:
Before National Lampoon was even invented, dream vacations were going awry -- here, a burned-out banker's beach rental features bizarre neighbors, children gone wild, and busted plumbing. Based on the novel by Edward Streeter.
