Starring Katharine Hepburn as Susan Vance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review Steve M. Great acting and the humor holds 90 years later. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/17/25 Full Review Christian K Starts off with incredible flow and chemistry between the leads. The energy is one of a kind. Unfortunately, the last act is a considerable step down as the plot becomes overloaded with additional characters you don't want to spend time with. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/25 Full Review David C Such a fun movie. Hepburn and Grant show their star power along with Hawks masterful direction. The film drags just a bit in the later half but this is the bench mark of which all screwball comedies should be compared to. Fabulous film! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/25 Full Review Birithivy Y Bringing Up Baby - 10/10. Howard Hawks, Cary Grant, and Katherine Hepburn are some of the biggest and most successful people from the Golden age of Hollywood. Though each person had amazing careers later on after this film, Bringing Up Baby is a perfect example of a film that was well ahead of its time, and once it was appreciated, was considered as a masterpiece in its respective genre. The movie is probably the first film in the now super popular screwball comedy genre. Back when it came out in 1938, the film bombed at the box office, and even lead to having Hepburn losing out on film roles because of its unsuccessful initial run. But the film gained a better reputation as the film started playing on television in the 50s. Many films of today can learn a thing or two in the way the comedy is presented and delivered in this film. Grant and Hepburn play up the odd couple dynamic really well, with Grant's uptight nature and Hepburn's bubbly mannerisms helping bring a nice levity to the proceedings. The movie is littered with zany moments which feel over the top in the right way. What a lot of comedies do nowadays is try to make shocking moments that are so ridiculous, yet this film understands the perfect balance of zany and natural humour. Hawks provides the viewer with a quick and fast movie which translates really well all these years later. You're aware of it being a classic film, but it doesn't feel that way in the slightest. Time just flies by watching the movie, and its just a really fun time overall. Hopefully the movie never ever is remade, because I highly doubt anyone can top the performances that the whole cast gives in the film.
