Coupe de Ville
Meet the Libner brothers: Marvin (Daniel Stern), the oldest, is a sergeant in the U.S. Air Force. Buddy (Arye Gross), the middle child, is a timid dreamer. Bobby (Patrick Dempsey), the youngest, is a handsome rebel in reform school. As kids, they fought a lot and as adults, they barely speak. In the summer of 1963, their tough and eccentric father, Fred (Alan Arkin), gives them a task: to bring a 1954 Cadillac, bought for their mother, Betty (Rita Taggart), from Detroit to Miami. As the trip goes on, the three brothers fight and begin to reconnect with each other, while trying to keep the Caddy in mint condition.

As Good As It Gets
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
I come from a large family (4 brothers and 3 sisters) and I could identify with each character in this movie. The three brothers in the movie reminded me of each of my brothers, including myself AND my sisters ... The bossy brother/sister, the reserved brother/sister and the wild brother/sister. I laughed the whole movie and kept comparing the characters to my own family, including the uncle and the parents! If you have siblings you will absolutely love this movie! I also enjoyed the ending and the message that the father tells the brothers, because it is the message that every family should share with each other and should live by. The message reminds you of what should matter most in your life and tells you how to keep it that way. This message should also be shared with other families.This is a perfect movie for a family get-together, to kick back and laugh after a Thanksgiving or holiday meal!
This Movie I watched with by brother a long time ago and to this day we still talk about it.I am specifically looking for the Soundtrack list of songs, I have scoured ebay looking for a version that is compatible with Australia systems and am yet to locate it.If anyone has any leads they will be truly appreciated.My brother just talk about the song " Speedo" not the song by Rubber Biscuoits we just laugh ourselves silly, if anyone knows the complete play list of and can forward them to me I would be grateful....A Awesome movie.......please email me at [email protected] Thank You.
This is one of the best all time sleeper hits. I have yet to recommend this someone who hasn't liked it. A wonderful, brother film. A nice story about 3 brothers who learn about each other, and what they mean to their family.
This is one of those films that slipped by virtually unnoticed. It's a shame because this film is one of best comedies I have seen.Stern, Dempsey and Gross are excellent as the squabbling brothers who drive a Cadillac Coupe de Ville from Motor City to Miami for their mother's birthday.They get into lots of scrapes along the way, most on the actual car. Their fight about the Louie Louie song is a classic.Funny and poignant. 10/10.
