Goodbye, Mr. Chips poster

By far one of the mushiest, cheesiest films I've ever seen. This film is so feel-good that it made me feel bad. The worst thing is that it goes on and on and on, and it's all just a repetition of the same concept within different periods of Mr Chips' life. Even the drama felt jolly and goofy, which I doubt was the desired result.

The performances are dusty, the characters are way too gullible and the transformation of Mr Chips felt forced. It reminded me almost of an older version of Forrest Gump, but even cornier still. At least the film is light and remains light, which makes the whole thing somewhat bearable. It's a film I might remember longer than most, but not for the right reasons.
