Jason R a fun film to watch as we see the great chemistry bounce off both Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant, a very good story and mishaps as Susan and David interact. one of my favorites from this era of film Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/06/25 Full Review Wayne K Screwball comedies had their day, and when I look back on the trend now, I can understand why it was so popular, but I can also see why it went out of fashion. What was funny and zany back then now comes across as irritating, drawn out and nonsensical now. I like Katherine Hepburn as an actress, but damn she’s overbearing in this one, so much so that her iconic voice soon becomes enough to make your ears bleed. Cary Grant does his typical screwball schtick, with lots of bumbling, tripping over things and asking questions and giving explanations in the most cumbersome fashion. This is a common trait of screwball comedies, and this film manages to demonstrate how needless that is when a character shuts the others up and says what needs to be said, and everyone understands. It’s a bad sign when a single moment undermines the mechanics of the entire genre! As funny as it can be, most of Bringing Up Baby is just draw out arguments, discussions and conversations which could be half the time if people just remembered the existence of the words ‘shut up’. A well-made movie with a lot of talent and passion involved, but the experience of watching it was like being stuck in a lift with a bickering couple: Awkward, uncomfortable and very, very annoying. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/02/25 Full Review David H Dumb. Silly. Hepburn acting excellent. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/27/25 Full Review Rodrigo C I really love the chemestry between Grand and Hepburn right from the start. Hepburn's character is so witty and clever, and I liked how Grant always had the patience to keep up with her. From the moment they met, it felt like their characters instantly clicked. What surprised me the most was the humor. Since this is a film from the 1938, I honestrly expected it to be old-fashined or boring, but it wasn't at all, it was sharp, fun, and genuinely hilarious. Yes, you can cleverly tell the movie's age in the obvious things like being black and white or the sound quality, but for me, that only made it more charlind and enjoyable. The humor still works perfectly today, and it's the kind of comedy you rarely find in modern movies. This is definitely one of those films you can rewatch after some time, and even when you already know what's going to happen, its charm never fades.
