"What more can I add but JIMMY STEWART?!?!!"

"Interesting, yet kinda slow"

Mary Osborne

"Timeless...there are so many lessons in it.Capra had a view of taking the good and the bad but ultimately showing that good does win in the end. We need this message today more than ever."

"It’s Jimmy. You don’t like Jimmy?!"

"IF only Congress has all the innocence of Mr Smith. IT does give an insight to corruption that has always been a part of that institution"

Steven Hendrickson

"If there is one thing that every American should see before voting in November, this movie is that thing. This is about the common guy, like you and me fighting against exploitive and dishonest politicians. It's very appropriate for today's context of American politics. Mr. Smith goes to Washington and speaks in front of the Congress so eloquently and passionately about social fairness and democracy, the pillars of the American nation, long ago forgotten. Then, we wake up from a nightmare 😩"
