About this movie

George Bailey has so many problems he is thinking about ending it all - and it's Christmas! As the angels discuss George, we see his life in flashback. As George is about to jump from a bridge, he ends up rescuing his guardian angel, Clarence. Clarence then shows George what his town would have looked like if it hadn't been for all of his good deeds over the years. Will Clarence be able to convince George to return to his family and forget suicide?

Ratings and reviews

Never understood why this film is considered a classic. It gets points for being one of the first to popularize the concept f seeing how the world would be different if you weren't born, but so many other movies that came after it did a way better job of it. I guess if you want to see the movie that started the trend go ahead and watch it, but it kind of listening to a really great cover of a song and then listen to the original and realize its no where as good as the new covered version.

This review isn't so much about the movie, but more about the fact that Google expects you to PAY for a movie that they themselves state is public domain. This means that its copyright has expired and therefore can be legally downloaded online free of charge.

Really? unless it's a remastered Blu-ray disk, anybody could get this in the $2 DVD bargain bin. Why would ANYBODY pay $5 for this when you can own the DVD and rip it (fair use for space shifting legally owned media) yourself for Android? It's a great movie, but this is a rip off. Where's the usual real Play deals Google usually has?! This "sale" has been truly lame.
