5.0 out of 5 stars Shes a gem Bannister, an absolute gem, 23 Nov 2004
By A. Butterfield (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: What's Up Doc? [DVD] [1972] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
This is such a great movie. Usually I can't watch a film more than once but I've seen this many times and it never loses its appeal, even though I now know the script off by heart.
I think what lifts it above the mostly inane comedies that come out of Hollywood is that although it's ludicrous in many ways, it's also strangely real and believable. It relies on a razor-sharp script and brilliant timing to get laughs rather than vulgarity or banal slapstick. Sure it's a visual comedy, and there are elements of slapstick, but the acting and directing make sure it never goes over the edge.
And what a cast: Khan as Eunice is unforgettable, Streisand is never better as the deliciously intelligent Judy, and Ryan O'Neal does a pretty good impression of Cary Grant (but don't believe those who tell you this is a remake of 'Bringing Up Baby' because it just ain't true).
My advice is to get this while you can, and treasure it. It's good enough to watch a hundred times.

5.0 out of 5 stars All Time Fave!, 21 Jan 2006
This review is from: What's Up Doc? [DVD] [1972] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
Wonderful comedy you can enjoy with your family! You will notice something new each time you watch this. Best car chase ever, ever!!! The "Sheet of Glass" sequence is sheer brilliance! I believe Peter Bogdanovich (Director), made this movie as a tribute to the slapslick movies of the 1930's, etc.
This is in my top three comedy films of all time, the other two being, "Blazing Saddles" and "Young Frankenstien", Both directed by Mel Brooks. Strangely, Madelene Kahn is in all three of these movies, Gene Wilder is in two, Kenneth Mars is in two, the old guy,(can't remember his name), is in all three! How weird is that!
I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes a a good comedy you can watch with the kids.
My rating: Absolutely brilliant!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must see film, no matter how old you are!, 1 Jul 2005
This review is from: What's Up Doc? [DVD] [1972] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
I first viewed this classic screwball comedy at the age of 3 and i'm now at the age of 18, and this film has become one of my all time favourite films. The plot is fluent and the cast is fantastic. The actor who plays the camp russian Simon has gone on to star in malcolm in the middle ,and is ever so funny with lines such as'Don't shoot i'm part Italian!'. The best scenes include the blazing fire in Howards room, the fantastic car chase through the scenic San Fransico roads and the court room decision. A must see for any film fan, the proof is i have viewed this film on numerous occasions and still absolutely adore it.
