About This Movie

So, 'Yours, Mine and Ours' is this quirky 1968 comedy directed by Melville Shavelson. You’ve got this widower, played by Henry Fonda, with ten kids, and then there's Lucille Ball's character, a widow with eight. The whole family dynamic is just chaotic in that charming way. The pacing has this nice rhythm, swinging from slapstick moments to those more tender family touches. The performances stand out, especially Ball, who manages to shine amidst the chaos. It’s got that classic sitcom feel but on a grander scale with a lot of humor rooted in family life — it’s all about blending worlds and juggling personalities. Plus, the practical effects, with kids running amok, adds a layer of authenticity.

Great example of 60s family comedies.Lucille Ball’s performance is a highlight.Captures the era's family dynamics well.
