Banker Roger Hobbs wants to spend his vacation alone with his wife, Peggy, but she insists on a family vacation at a California beach house that turns out to be ugly and broken down. Daughter Katey, embarrassed by her braces, refuses to go to the beach, as does TV-addicted son Danny. When the family is joined by Hobbs' two unhappily married daughters and their husbands, he must help everyone with their problems to get some peace.

Top Critics Reviews

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

rotten:
Maybe this isn't 60s family entertainment at its absolute worst, but it's still pretty awful.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,

fresh:
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.
– Bosley Crowther,
New York Times,
9 May 2005
fresh:
A wholesome family comedy with Stewart and O'Hara as a couple whose quiet vacation becomes a noisy free-for-all for the kids.

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