Rick M An absolute classic. This movie is in my top 20 list. 200 mile an hour comedy, every line a laugh, it never lets up. One of the best movies ever made. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review Jeff M Timeless perfection! The only regret I have in watching classic movies such as this one as that I waited so long and wasted so many years when I could have been enjoying them over and over again. The amazing thing about this madcap comedy is that so little feels dated over 80 years later. This is proof positive that a well done movie will always feel relevant. I am quickly and madly falling in love with young Katharine Hepburn during this period of cinema - I am understanding her reputation as one of the great actresses ever. Her comic skills are basically unparalleled. And Grant may be one of the great movie stars ever - not necessarily an immersive or chameleonic actor but someone who can run the gamut from screwball comedy to melodrama to Hitchcock thriller with equal ease and success. I laughed out loud A LOT, not only at the broad physical comedy but also the little little gestures by the actors and tiny nuances in the screenplay that are easy to miss. This may be my favorite film of the 1930s so far. And it joins my list of favorite movie comedies along with WAITING FOR GUFFMAN, TOOTSIE and THE NAKED GUN. This is the perfect movie for someone wanting to start becoming acquainted with movies of the bygone era. And it's a film I think most if not all of the family can appreciate on one level or another. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review John S I believe this movie qualifies for the term "madcap". Genuinely, timelessly, cacklingly, funny in some places and disturbingly, exhaustingly, pathological on a few levels. But as a product of its time, this movie is impossible to look away from and very cheeky. (Even if you're rooting for Susan to be eaten by a leopard.) Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/23/23 Full Review Alex B Absolutely bizarre. Came in with no knowledge whatsoever and thoroughly enjoyed, definitely a few 'laugh out loud' moments. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/28/23 Full Review Shadowman4710 One of the best of the "Screwball Comedy" era, Bringing Up Baby is a blast from start to finish. Katherine Hepburn and Carey Grant are both fantastic in this, and are well supported by Charles Ruggles and Barry FitzGerald. Easily Hepburn's best film from the 1930's. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/25/23 Full Review Petros T It starts off as an appealing comedy yet degenerates real fast. Yes, the animal action is really well done and the final stunt is cool, but the rest is an obnoxious train wreck of forced slapstick, endless hysteria and no dynamics - it's nonsensical mayhem all the time: no laughter comes out of that, just a fucking headache. And after 100 minutes of the most batshit crazy mishaps, we're supposed to believe that all loose ends get tied up like that and there are no hurt feelings? I call bullshit.
