Mr. Smith Goes to Washington Reviews and Ratings



  • November 15, 2007
    LOVE it. James Stewart, young and riled up.

    Jean Arthur is so sexy. This film annoyed me during the Happy American propaganda montage, and I was sick of it by the time Saunders sheds a tear at Sen. Smith's idyllic boys' camp proposal. I did love the phrase "Christmas tiger", though.

    A kinder, gentler pov on the legislature and our history. Thomas Mitchell gets a role with a bit of meat. Stewart is flawless in this movie. The ending is a trifle too quick.
  • November 10, 2007
    Mile-a-minute yet sentimental. Great entertaining film that is timeless on a number of levels.
  • November 9, 2007
    Anyone who does not know how politics works should see this move.

    incase you didn't already know it, this movie proves that jimmy stewart was one of the greatest actors that ever lived and ever will live.

    Classified as a classic = Interested.

    Excellent - I like the moral that one man is trying to do good while the other is crooked and making the good guy look really bad, until one breaks.
  • October 27, 2007
    A very powerful and moving movie, right down to the end of it.
  • October 25, 2007

  • October 24, 2007
    Every lousy politician will probably say they've seen this and love it... but they sure don't GET IT. Ultimate pic about our government gone wrong... and this was made in 1939. 70 years later, we still haven't got it right.
  • October 22, 2007
    My all time favorite movie.
  • October 11, 2007
    I have no idea why James Stewart didn't win an Oscar for this movie - his performance is absolutely riveting. And the movie's quality is raised significantly because of it.
  • October 9, 2007
    Its impossible not to be moved by this movie.
  • October 8, 2007
    I have not watched it yet... but hope too soon.

    Poor Mr. Smith. No respect for his ideas of America.

    The true embodiment of good against evil. James Stewart is incredible in this.

    This was the original and it was good because of Jimmy Stewart.

    The greatest Frank Capra film ever made, and that's saying something! Jimmy Stewart's best performance. If only the real senators could be so inspired.

    I've seen some of this, and it's pretty good.
  • September 21, 2007
    A classic if there every was one. This is a must-see. It could not be any more poignant to the state of today's politics. It's very inspiring and sad, at the same time.

    One of the greats, the story and execution are superb. Jimmy Stewart's performance at the end is truly one of his best.
  • September 15, 2007
    funny for a classic.
  • September 9, 2007
    The only thing I didn't like was that Jimmy Stewert didn't seem to go right out and say that it was all the other guy's fault and that he himself was blameless.
  • September 9, 2007
    Great film! You have to love Jimmy Stewart!

    I just saw this movie, fantastic. Capra and Stewart can do no wrong. If you have never seen it, its worth the rental.
  • August 15, 2007
    Brilliant! So relevant to politics today too. It makes you realize how little has changed over the years. Politicians still play dirty but thankfully there are still people with integrity to stand up for what's right no matter the cost!
  • August 12, 2007
    An idealistic, small-town senator heads to Washington and suddenly finds himself single-handedly battling ruthless politicians out to destroy him.
