Summary: Terrible quality DVD!
Review: The movie is WONDERful - but this particular DVD is horrible!! It's very fuzzy and the sound is so muffled. It really has the qualities of a 'bootleg' dvd. You can find the movie by other distributers in much cleaner, clearer condition. The movie itself is timeless, adorable and so charming - just purchase it from another distributer.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Movie is wonderful, DVD is atrocious
Review: The movie is a wonderful story, with great actors. But what a shame that the abysmal sound and poor picture quality results in a presentation which seems worse than what I imagine could have been made by a cam corder at a movie theatre showing of the film. Included instructions warn this DVD's sound will not do well with a home theatre system, and so it should be played direct from DVD player to a TV. However, they give no warning of the graininess, and poor color dynamic range. Considering how poor the picture is on any home TV, and the sound issues, I could see using this only on my notebook computerr. I hope the old VHS format is better.

Whoever (at MGM or whomever orignally made the movie) should be embarassed at having allowed Madacy Entertainment Group to release this DVD. This was a fine movie put together in a DVD on the cheap...someone else (probably high school kids) could to do better.

Summary: Terrible terrible terrible!
Review: The picture quality is barely alright but the sound is deplorable. I found this to be unwatchable and will be tossing the disc in the trash.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Poor Quality
Review: I've always loved the movie and couldn't wait to see the DVD. I was EXTREMELY disappointed. It looked like a poor vhs taping off of the TV. The sound was worse. That must account for the low price...

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't be tempted to buy this product.
Review: The DVD version is a disappointment indeed. The picture quality is very poor, the sound quality likewise so; approximately 58 minutes into the film the sound drops out completely, leaving about a 4 second gap in the dialogue. What reliable company could have offered this product for sale to the public, knowing that these flaws were obvious? Do not buy the DVD version at any price.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Great Movie, bad soundtrack
Review: This is a funny and entertaining movie, but (surprisingly for a DVD) the sound is distorted and takes the joy out of watching it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: William Powell - the role he was born to play!
Review: This movie just brings so many happy memories growing up. Irene Dunne is fantastic and what can I say about the perfect bully of a father in William Powell but he plays with so much humor and makes many scenes so poignant with Irene Dunne. You will not be disappointed!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Great movie, but unfortunately a terrible DVD
Review: Because this is my mother's favorite movie, I grew up watching it countless times. I love this movie and can recite it line by line, which is good because a section of this DVD has no sound. I thought it was a defective DVD, but the second one sent to me had the same problem. The sound and picture quality in general is not good. It looks as if it was recorded from an old VHS. It's a great movie, but I suggest getting it on VHS or recording it next time it's on TV. You'll get much better quality, I'm sure.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A horrible DVD transfer of a wonderful film!
Review: STOP!! Don't waste your money on this or anything by this company (MADACY ENTERTAINMENT). The picture's blurry and the sound is so muffled you can't hear most of it. No wonder it's so inexpensive- IT"S WORTHLESS! Weren't DVD's supposed to be a better quality than VHS?!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellentand Heart Warming Commedy
Review: Life with Father is clearly a classis except that the transfer quality on this DVD is horrible - clearly a shame.
Father is a mix of Tough Businessman who rules the family with an iron fist. Trouble is, his charming wife reduces his fist to a subtle rose as her beauty and charm overwhelm Father every time.
The writing is superb, the characters all part of an intricate equation that adds up to brilliant humor and beautiful lessons in love and strength of family.
The adoring love of a "tough" husband for his wife ( watching him melt in her grace) pulls at your heart while tickling your gut.
Some studio PLEASE release a quality DVD version.... immediately.
