Product Description
Zany antics prevail in this screwball comedy about an eccentric woman and an equally eccentric professor. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 12/06/2005 Starring: Barbra Streisand Ryan Oneal Run time: 94 minutes Rating: G Director: Peter Bogdanovich
Amazon.com essential video
Director Peter Bogdanovich (The Last Picture Show) tipped his hat to the classic screwball comedies of the 1930s, and especially the most glorious of them all, Howard Hawks' Bringing Up Baby. Barbra Streisand plays a charming flake who distracts a self-absorbed musicologist (Ryan O'Neal). He's engaged to be married, but soon Streisand's character has him chasing after stolen jewelry and getting into one madcap fix after another. Bogdanovich, who is also a film critic, understands the engine of the screwball genre, and his loving revival of the form brings a smile, though it is not quite consistently inspired or funny. There are plenty of great moments, however, including a slap at O'Neal's own star-making vehicle, Love Story. --Tom Keogh

 Wonderful fun! November 19, 2008
This movie is fantastic and if you are soured on all the unnecessary violence and sex in many Hollywood films, this older movie will cheer you up. It is delightfully silly and full of wonderful lines.
 I Love This Movie... a bit dated yet oh so fun!!! November 8, 2008
This priceless movie with all its gags, bits and skillfully timed stunts and visuals is absolutely hilarious!!
Coupling the extremely funny and beautiful, Madeline Kahn with Ryan O'Neal, the geeky, handsome, straight man was "pure genius" and then there's Barbra Streisand and her character ...Superb, charming, beautiful, and devilishly impulsive!
I laugh just thinking about this union of character's... perfect!!!
All actors and their characters are played perfectly throughout - just like a good recipe take out one ingredient and it just wouldn't be the same.
The tangled mess that is this movies story line starts when Streisand and O'Neal's character's meet in a store while he's looking for aspirin adding along the way a couple of side story's that seamlessly come together over suitcases and what's within them, yes I said, "Suitcases!!" - all are the same style and make... then all hell breaks loose!!
"WOW!! Too funny and wonderfully entertaining!!!"
This is for me one of the best comedy's of its time/era!!! You've got to watch this movie at least once if not many times.
A real screwball comedy for anyone who can count!! August 12, 2008
I first saw this movie when I was a kid. But now that it is available on DVD, watching it again after 30 years sure brings back memories of the way comedies were done in the early 70s. Striesand was at her usual self, a good role for her and she went on to do better in THE MAIN EVENT pairing up again with O' Neal. Just wondering how the two felt about each other when they were cast again in opposite roles...But the climax in What's Up Doc is the judge in the court turns up to be Streisand's father. That's a good one. Peter, the director, must be given the credit to come up with the idea. I bought two discs, and the other would be given to a friend who is celebrating his birthday soon. When the movie was made, he had turned two. So he didn't have the chance to see it. Thanks to Warner Bros for putting the movie available on DVD.
Tons of laughs!!! July 31, 2008
This is one very funny movie-one that the whole family can enjoy together without the threat of boredom. This writer is one for one-liners, puns, and jokes of all sorts and this movie allowed me to rant and rave about it's funny points. The entire cast does a great job under the great direction of Peter Bogdanovich. From beginning to end this movie will have you laughing, giggling, clapping, and smiling all the way through. The cinema was packed for this film when it opened back in the 70's. I'm glad it came out on DVD. Great viewing for the whole family. Enjoy!!!
IT'S THE TOP July 10, 2008

A true classic. Every frame, every shot is in place. Laughter all the way. Smart, silly, witty, and funny. I have composed a new verse of Cole Porter's classic that Streisand sings over the opening and closing credits.
(Ahem...)
'You're the top
You're Barack Obama,
You're the top
You're the Dalai Lama,
I'm the GOP
An SOB, a fop!
But if, Baby, I'm the bottom...
You're the top.
(And so's this movie.)
