Product Description

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

 Madcap at its finest July 5, 2009
Karen Plourde (Philadelphia, PA)
I first saw "What's Up Doc?" in the movie theater with my cousins when I was ten. We were over cartoon "Peanuts" movies, and this was a great transition. All these years later, it holds up! The patter is lightning fast, Barbra Joan and Madeline Kahn are terrific, and the ancillary characters are a hoot. I bought this for myself, but my 8-year old daughter ended up watching it and loving it,too. This is one you'll come back to over and over, just to make sure you get all the laughs.
Timeless comedy classic May 25, 2009
D. Bilodeau (Texas)
What's Up Doc is a timeless comedy classic that shows Ryan O'Neal and Barbra Streisand at their funny best. If you like to laugh and appreciate good gags, this movie is a good one to have and watch. The late, great Madeline Kahn makes her feature film debut in this movie and her performance is priceless as well. The entire movie builds up to the final scene where O'Neal utters his absolutely perfect final line, but you have to know a little movie history and be familiar with his work to get it. No spoilers here - you will have to get a copy and watch, and enjoy! Good clean family fun.

Sebastian
This movie is so sweet and gentle that it is hard not to like it. It really is a 1930's style romantic comedy in all respects. Also, I've never seen a movie that has such bright and vivid colors - the blues and yellows are just electric, and as such, this film was shot to perfection. Both Ryan and Barbra are in their youthful-looking prime and there is a great assortment of charactor actors in support. A fine film.
One of the funniest movies of all time May 5, 2009
Mac Clark (Baltimore, MD USA)
Can you imagine making your acting debut in a movie of this quality? Madeline Kahn began her brilliant career as a spot-on type A personality engaged to Howard Bannister, the ultimate absent-minded professor. Ryan ONeal likewise redeemed his reputation after his syrupy experience with Love Story. Streisand portrays the high-powered whirlwind interloper. Spies, real car chases, jewel thieves, and a cascade of mix-ups and wrong turns round out one of the most deftly directed comedies ever. This is a real comedy -- you actually laugh while watching it, sometimes to the point of tears. Watch What's Up Doc as a family. Many of the lines will become part of your family communication tradition.
What up doc? The Laughs March 29, 2009
Joe (Anywhere, IOWA)
This movie stands the test of time. What a funny movie. My wife saw this movie years ago and convinced me to watch this. The jokes are timeless, the story fast paced and the laugh out loud moments never end. This is a definite plus to a collection of screwball comedy. What a wonderful funny and fun movie. This is a classic that is a must own, and a joy for the family to watch as well. I would recomend this movie to anyone that loves a great laugh.
