Bringing Up Baby

Rating:
Summary: A great Movie
Review: This movie was a great comady! It reminded me of that fast talking nerve racking dialoge on the anime "Elf Princess Rane", but this is . . . quite a bit more of an american classic.

Summary: lots of fun, but super serious
Review: As one critic put it, Howard Hawk's comedies are his serious films and his serious films are his comedies. Bringing Up Baby, which moves at the speed of light, is Hawk's fastest sounding film. Many people leave this film and are overwhelmed at the sheer pace of the dialogue and find themselves trying to speak at that pace for a day or two. But not many people can motor mouth like Grant and Hepburn and most people don't get caught up in such delirious dilemmas. Grant plays a sterile scientist, stuck in a serious but boring job, engaged to a lemon of a woman who informs him that they'll be no honeymoon after their marriage. Their work is far too important for romance, sex, or the lunatic passions of love. Enter Hepburn on the golf course and within a millisecond she decides Grant is hers and proceeds to take everything that belongs to him, inluding his golf ball, his car, his job and his identity. But he learns to love it, goes through countless humiliations, watches his whole life's work destroyed in front of him by the woman he loves and continues to love her. It's funny, but scary, because it nails down the insanity of passion and illogical progression of love. Susan (Hepburn) sees the world as she chooses and forces David (Grant) to do so, no matter how crazy he knows she is acting. She has liberated him from the world of science, but to what end? All the pieces of his scientific work have to be picked up, if he wants to regain a semblance of self, but can he ever do it with Susan around? Will he care? This beautiful screwball comedy focuses on the battle of the sexes and leads us to other Hawks films of the same theme, especially His Girl Friday and Twentieth Century. Romance is a serious business if it's conducted by adults who find themselves acting like children. Contrast this film with all those musty English drawing room romantic comedies and you'll see what mainline pros like Hawks,Grant and Hepburn do to the genre. They give it ferocious energy that is unmatched.

Summary: Hilarious!
Review: Hepburn and Grant were the best comedy team that I know of, outside of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnez. Taking care of a leopard is hard work, especially if you're trying to win the affections of a busy paleontologist. Hepburn always seemed to be in Grant's way and ruining things for him. It was good that he didn't try to beat 'em and just joined 'em! -- Carrie, age 18

Summary: One of my favorite movies of all time!
Review: I've watched this movie over and over. Too bad Hepburn and Grant only made four movies together, Bringing Up Baby, Philadelphia Story, Holiday and Sylvia Scarlett.

Rating:
Summary: One of the all time best
Review: One of my top 10 favourite movies, this has it all. The scenes outside the country home when the visitor thinks he's hearing a great leopard impersonation from the old matron are unforgettable and hysterical. Fast paced, stylish, and a great comedy of misunderstandings and farce.

Summary: Best and Most Entertaining Film Done Buy Hepburn Ever !!!
Review: This movie was the funniest movie that i have ever seen. I think that the acting of Grant and Hepburn was simply ingenious. My fav line was when the psychiatrist said that a man's affection was acted out in fighting. I thought that every one trying to talk at the same time was funny. In conclusion this movie was great and altho children might have trouble understanding the comedy I highly recomend it for people of all ages.

Summary: This movie doesn't deserve any more than 1 star!
Review: I'm sorry to ruin this movie's perfect reputation here on amazon.com, but this movie doesn't deserve any more than I gave it. Sorry.

Summary: Hiliarious!
Review: This is a great movie! I laughed so hard, my stomach hurt! Katherine and Cary are a great pair! If anyone hasn't seen this movie, they are being deprived of the classic movie comedy experience! Another great movie is The Philidelphia Story, starring Cary, Katherine and Jimmy Stewart

Rating:
Summary: The definitive screwball comedy
Review: One of the funniest movies of all time. This film is the classic example of what a comedy ought to be. The characters are memorable and likeable, the action is notstop, and the acting, direction and screenplay are all brilliant. Only Cary Grant could manage to look so dignified in a fluffy pink dressing-gown.

Rating:
Summary: Funniest movie ever made
Review: This is the funniest movie ever made. "What's Up Doc" was made as a tribute to this screwball comedy. "Bringing Up Baby" is the complete comedy: script, director, cameraman, editing and what a cast! Proves that movies don't need to be R-rated to be funny.
