Let's be honest: this is a museum piece, not a movie night pick. Over The Moon is an 85-year-old British romantic comedy that even dedicated classic film buffs rated a mediocre 5.3 on TMDB.
The premise—woman inherits fortune, principled doctor rejects her wealth, romantic hijinks ensue—is wholesome enough and completely safe for all ages. But 'safe and wholesome' doesn't mean 'watchable.' The pacing, dialogue, and social attitudes are so deeply rooted in 1939 that it would require a running commentary track just to keep modern kids engaged.
Unless you're specifically teaching a unit on pre-war British cinema or your family has an unusual tolerance for theatrical acting and glacial plot development, this one stays in the archive. There are infinitely better ways to explore themes of money, love, and integrity with your kids—preferably ones made after the invention of television.
