"Years ago my mother used to say to me, "In this world, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." For years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. And you may quote me." - Elwood P. Dowd

Why watch this? It's one of Stewart's best and most beloved films.

Plot Summary: Elwood P. Dowd, a kind and eccentric man, claims his best friend is an invisible, six-foot-three-and-a-half-inch tall rabbit named Harvey. His sister, Veta Louise, is determined to have Elwood committed to a sanitarium due to his insistence on Harvey's existence, which is hindering her family's social standing and her daughter's marriage prospects. A comedic mix-up at the sanitarium leads to Veta Louise being temporarily committed herself, forcing Elwood to navigate the situation with his usual pleasant demeanor and the help of his unseen companion.

Dad's Preview: We all know someone who is a little "touched". Elwood sees a giant pooka. Gotta love him. The script is just so off-the-wall that you can't help but love this film. Sure our protagonist is a little strange, but aren't those oddities the traits that make people unique and interesting in the first place? It is certainly an entertaining movie... and it just might hop right into your heart.
