Your Family (1948)

★★★★★ · I LOVE how politically incorrect this is. :) · Bonjomon · 2017-10-25

THIS is what a happy family can look like. THIS is the ideal. Of course this life isn't perfect and we can't always have the ideal, but this is what we should shoot for. I don't think the filmmaker was trying to shun or shame imperfect families, but to show an example of just how awesome family life can be. Families are disintegrating by the second, society can learn a LOT from this video!

★★★★ · The Dishes are done! The dishes are done! · Spuzz · 2005-10-23

Almost a sequel film to the ever-annoying Beginning Responsibility AND featuring the same narrator, the ominous sounding Your Family details a happy go-lucky family willing to jump through hoops to do family chores so they could get dinner over with so they can watch their home movies of them shoveling snow. All the family has duties, Mom takes care of the house, Tony takes care of the unfortunately-named terrier Fluffy, Nancy sets the table, and Dad, well, he doesnt deserve to do anything, as hes of course had a hard day at the office. But when the movies arrive, and Nancy out to music…

★★★★ · Chicago 'burbs, Winter, Late 40's · JayKay49 · 2012-04-12

It's important to remember that fully grown adults wrote and produced this movie in the late 40's, for impressionable young kids. They had "souls full of hope" (slightly different from Mom in the bathtub, heh, heh). Ya see, after 15 years which featured a great depression followed by a world war with rationing and all....they daydreamed of a time of just bein' left alone to live your life in peace and quiet with food on a tasteful table in a tasteful house situated in a tasteful neighborhood. So, to the previous reviewers, I say "what's to wonder?" This film has everythinhg you'd expect in a…

★★★★ · Dick and Jane at Home · Film Fan · 2004-05-29

A very cute, nostalgic film of how each family member brings purpose and harmony to their home. Show it to your young children! If you are a fan of Dick and Jane stories, then this film is for you, too. Can't you hear the whirrrr of the projector as the narrator pauses?

★★★★ · Made for children · ERD · 2005-10-23

The film is made for children back in the 1940's. It teaches working together as a family. In today's complex times, it seems too ideal and simplistic, as seen by some of the other review comments.

★★★ · Do you? · kevy-kev · 2003-05-23

Do you help out at home by cleaning up a mess even though you might not have made that mess? Do you? Do you help out mom by shelling the peas? Do you? Do you help out father by setting up the screen as he splices together the home movies? Do you? Do you enjoy ice-skating? Do you? If you answered "no" to any of these questions, then you have something to learn from this film.
