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.

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Coupe de Ville is on HBO Family this month. Good movie about these three brothers' and their dad's relationship, or any family relationships, fraught with mischief, hijinks, and adventure. Enjoyed it, even though it may now seem dated, the movie had it's great moments. Consider it timeless, or consider it an entertaining coming-of-age period piece from the 1980s... I found it very under-rated, well worth seeing, and I agree, it could be worth watching again. The situations, conflicts, and their solutions were not only very entertaining, but ultimately satisfying, somehow. It has some qualities that reminded me of dynamic relationship films like Breaking Away or Stand by Me.8/10

A touching story between three brothers. The roles are nicely cast, (I especially enjoy seeing Daniel Stern). Being a brother myself, I could relate to some of the situations they got themselves in, and the emotion they felt between each other. A gem of its own, Coupe De Ville, should be seen by more people. It's brilliance is warming and Alan Arkin ties the whole thing together. His performance as the straightforward, loving father is charming.Plus, the soundtrack is nostalgic! The whole part about the song Louie, Louie is classic.Recommended for fans of Daniel Stern and Alan Arkin.

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

This film is an absolute classic and it is a crime that it is not available on DVD.There must be something us film lovers can do to rectify this injustice.This film is hysterical, moving and poignant all rolled into one which is a rarity in itself.For me, Patrick Dempsey and Daniel Stern steal the show as the feuding brothers who constantly clash with great hilarity.Sterns performance had me in tears of laughter, especially in his moments of rage.A great cast, a great script and an extremely well hidden master piece which does not get the credit it deserves.I can not really say any more than that!!
