Coupe de Ville Trailers

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.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I watched this film 6 months ago at TV, and I completely loved it. It's an emotional comedy, and despite the great humor, it makes you think about family in general, and how important are things that we, unfortunately, sometimes think they're banal. Anyway, I saw the movie again last week and I enjoyed it even more, and now I'm absolutely desperate to get it, because I can't wait for the next time when TV1000 will show it. But I didn't find it neither on youtube or torrent sites. So, if anyone of you knows how can I download, or even watch this amazing movie online, please let me know about it, because I think you loved it too and you know that it's a real cruelty not to be able to see it again. Thank you in anticipation. Sorry for my bad English.

We can go the moon and we can even clone but it just seems impossible to get this GREAT MOVIE on DVD. I only saw it once and I was hooked on the movie Coupe de Ville. It was fun to watch, acting was great, moral of the story great. Why can't Universal Pictures transfer it to DVD or Morgan Creek Productions transfer it to DVD. A great movie for all generations to sit down and watch and have a great time doing that.I love Alan Arkin as the father. Do the world of movie buffs a favor please transfer this movie to DVD and make the world a happier place at least for 90 minutes.Thanks. Martha

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!

Coupe de Ville is just one of those films that you like, but can't put your finger on quite why! The direction - by Roth - is straightforward and not terribly unique. The script is just the right side of sentimental. The actors are by no means A-League big-hitters. But this is quite possibly what makes this film so good. It is a film that you watch with absolutely no expectations. By the end of it however you know that what you have just watched, has touched some part of you that has not been touched for a long time. The trio of Stern, Dempsey and Gross are nigh on perfect. The beauty in their acting is, that they act just like brothers. They feel right as a bickering trio of siblings. But the real boon of this film lies in Alan Arkin. So often Alan Arkin has simply played a variation on a theme. But hear the bronchial tones of his voice are given a stage perfectly suited to them. It is with Arkin that the real emotional punch of the movie lies, and working like a super-extended episode of 'The Wonder Years', it suckers you every time. The pacing is perfect, the cast truly 'stellar', the music absolutely incredible. Besides I never would have known that 'Louie, Louie' was a sea-shanty, and for that alone this deserves viewing. A hidden gem.
