I've been a fan of Cary Grant and his films forever and according to my author bio I've been in love with him since I was 10. (It's true!) 

Room For One More made me fall a little more in love with Cary. His role as George "Poppy" Rose alongside his real-life wife actress Betsy Drake playing Anna Rose is a heartfelt and touching film you won't soon forget. It is so unlike the suave, debonair Cary Grant persona and roles movie buffs are accustomed to seeing him in. 

Poppy and Anna Rose have a lively household with three children and a menagerie of stray pets. 

One of my favorite aspects of  Room For One More was the way they portrayed the family in this film. It's not perfect, there's a lot of chaos, but most importantly there's a lot of love. 

The tagline on this poster said "Make room for your broadest grins and your longest laughter."  There was a lot of smiling and laughter while I watched this movie. Room For One More  is definitely on my re-watch and want to own list. 

Grant and Drake met on the set of Every Girl Should be Married and in real life were married shortly after filming and their chemistry in Room For One More is just as enchanting and compelling. I loved how Drake's character Anna had such a heart for children and pets and Grant's character knew it was fruitless to complain and went along with it. 

Room For One More is based on a book with the same title by author Anna Rose Wright which I'd be curious to find and read.

If your looking for a family friendly film, look no further than this charming and heartwarming movie Room For One More.

Happy Watching,

Emilee
