In A Minute, Mr Peabody!!

by captaind captaind is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Aug 11 '06
Pros: Very funny, great dialogue, leopards...
Cons: ... perhaps you won't enjoy it unless you're in a light-hearted mood?
On another rewatching of Howard Hawks’ classic comedy Bringing Up Baby, I was reminded yet again of exactly why I love this film so much. Starring Cary Grant as bumbling palaeontologist Dr David Huxley and Katherine Hepburn as Susan Vance, ...

Howard Hawk’s BRINGING UP BABY (1938)

by artbyjude Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 20 '03
Pros: Grant and Hepburn sparring, fast moving and funny, the rest of the cast
Cons: It was really silly. Grant and Hepburn in love scenes
This movie is a little hard to find, and Turner Broadcasting company has so far released the only edition I could find, on VHS. Waiting in vain for it to be put on DVD, I finally gave in. I think the movie is funny, but not by any means the most funny...

Bringing up Baby: Beware of the Leopard

by WulfsDen Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 28 '06
Pros: Brilliant screwball comedy
Cons: Lethally funny. Don't watch it alone
After the tremendous disappointment of the grotesque Ang Lee misinterpretation of < b>The Hulk, I needed to return to safer ground for some warmth and a few laughs. I decided it was time to review an old favorite, ...

Bringing Up Baby is a surprisingly awful classic

by eplovejoy Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jan 07 '01
Pros: none, unbelievable but true
Cons: absolutely everything
Imagine being charmed by a recidivist car thief who also is a manipulative liar and who hits an older man in the forehead with a rock and leaves him for dead. No, I can't imagine it either.

But enjoying BRINGING UP BABY demands that you be...

A Silly Roller Coaster Ride!

by sadiesguy , Apr 17 '05
Pros: Jokes, fast paced, Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, DVD special features.
Cons: Some of the humor is outdated.
"Bringing Up Baby" is a screwball comedy directed by Howard Hawks starring two of the world's biggest celebrities of all time: Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn. First off, I think this would be classified as a great family film. Children of all ages as ...

Bringing Up Baby: It rarely gets better

by updateghost Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, May 26 '08
Pros: Everything.
Cons: Nothing.
One thing you can't deny about modern comedies -- even the best ones -- is how much they rely on shock value. Borat, Knocked Up and The 40 Year-Old Virgin are all adequate works of cinema, but many of their best parts are also their ...

A good definition of "Farce"

by isinga Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jun 21 '00
Pros: Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn
Cons: Laughs too close together to let you breathe
Who excelled at roles ranging from swashbuckling to romantic to serious to comedic? Cary Grant, of course. And, what female actor excelled at roles ranging from frontier woman to society deb to scatterbrained heiress to lawyer to romantic klutz?...

Bringing Up Baby (1938)

by BrianKoller Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Sep 18 '99
Pros: cast, script, direction, very silly
Cons: some unlikely coincidences
"Bringing Up Baby" is the first of four screwball comedies starring Cary Grant and directed by Howard Hawks. While the second film, "His Girl Friday", is considered to be the best, the fact is that all four films are excellent and of...

Hilarious slapstick comedy

by PoloPinoy , Apr 03 '00
Pros: The comedy, direction, hepburn and Grant Duo
Cons: highly unbelievable coincidences
"Bringing Up Baby" is a classic slapstick comedy which I thought deserved a higher placing on the AFI Top 100 list than I saw it at. It stars two favorites from the golden age, Cary Grant and Katherin Hepburn.

David(Grant) is a...

AFI: Bringing Up Baby - a Screwball Classic!

by Frankony , Mar 08 '00
Pros: classic screwball comedy
Cons: none
Here's another AFI movie that we all agreed was a classic. Coming in at #97 (a little low for my liking), this screwball comedy goes at a furious pace with many calamities along the way. Cary Grant, playing his buttoned-down archaeologist to the hilt,...

I just wanted him to find his intercoster (SP?) clavicle!

by Cassady , Dec 01 '00
Pros: Cast, howlingly funny moments (like the leopard howling)
Cons: Trite, frustrating plot
Howard Hawks' 1938 classic comedy flopped with American
audiences, but it went on to influence romantic farces for
decades with its fast-talking nonsense plot that became
synonymous with "screwball" comedy. I may be committing...

wonderful "box office poison"

by hollydoll29 , Dec 08 '07
Pros: Great comedic chemistry between the stars AND comedic talent individually.
Cons: lack of depth in characters
This movie was unsuccessful when it was released. Katharine Hepburn was labeled box office poison, so it had a poor showing at the box office. However, it has increased in popularity since then. It is the best of screwball comedy. It may not be a film ...

One of the funniest classic movies you will see!

by scoobaqueen , Mar 19 '07
Pros: Hilarious film -Katharine Hepburn, -Cary Grant
Cons: I would love to see it in color.
I first saw this movie on a classic movie channel, and I fell in love with it! Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn are wonderful in this hilarious romp that have you laughing out loud at the zany situations/misunderstandings that they find themselves in. ...

Classic Comedy....

by QuinnElaine , Sep 06 '00
Pros: Laughing is Doctor Recommended
Cons: You must be joking!
I love the classics! Although I have also seen good remakes, it is hard to modernize some of these mad-cap comedies.

Bringing Up Baby was one I could even get my kids (ages 7-11) to watch! It's hard to get them interested in a black and white...

Of Leopards and dogs named George

by Nick_Charles , Jan 30 '00
Pros: cast, story, directing
Cons: not a blessed thing
When the subject of screwball comedy comes up in a conversation, "Bringing up Baby" is sooner or later mentioned. It is the definitive "screwball". It all starts when Zoologist Dr. David Huxley (Cary Grant), who is due to marry the...
