It's a Wonderful Life (1946)

4.5

This movie was watched as part of a RiffTrax commentary.

The Rifftrax dudes love riffing classics. This is the first time I’ve heard one of them tell a joke too early (he even admits it when the setup comes after the punchline).

This movie is so much wilder than I remember! Rifftrax used the print in which they cut out George’s vision of him wishing he’d never been born. It’s so jarring!

I love the dance contest when the pool opens. I hate it when George steals Mary’s robe.
