Call me a grinch, but I hate this movie. I love Jimmy Stewart, but this is all "gosh darn it" and lacks the depth of characterization that you see even in something similarly didactic like "Mr. Smith..." We get it, he doesn't have boundaries and is ground down from his selflessness. The framing device of angels talking/narrating is particularly cringe, and...I could go on, but it's enough to say that the movie's charms just aren't for me.
