"Houseboat" is a well done and mature film which can appeal to a variety of persons and age groups as it includes some comedy, some drama, and some panache. A young Loren shines in this film while Grant is less charming than usual as his character is somewhat persnickety and overwhelmed. There seems to be some tension between Loren and Grant, perhaps for offstage personal reasons, but the film still works as this isn't just a romance but a film about a father coping after a loss and how the children perceive things. So, a good film that I would recommend, nothing too offensive or explicit here. My rating: 8/10.
