This picture is a total smash.
The strength of a movie like this, of course, is that you don't have to believe too much for too long, because there's something else happening.
Not the least of Bogdanovich's triumphs is his success in scaling down Miss Streisand's superstar personality to fit the dimensions of farce.
The busy script by Buck Henry, Robert Benton, and David Newman keeps things moving, but the spirit of pastiche keeps this romp from truly rivaling its sources.
A lot of fun for the whole family.
No one is going to match Grant and Hepburn, but Ryan O'Neal and Barbra Streisand give it the ol' college try in the criminally entertaining What's Up, Doc? [Blu-ray]
It's never quite as tight or fierce as the original screwballers, but is fizzy and loveable and always worth watching.
Bogdanovich has delivered a film with energy, wit, and a madcap pace that is well worth watching.
Never less than entertaining and is sometimes side-splittingly hilarious.
Enjoyable thanks to the fine use of San Francisco locations and an agreeably nutty Barbra Streisand.
Hilarious live cartoon directed by Bogdanovich with sexy, silly turn by Streisand, and equally funny O'Neal and Kahn.
Energetic contemporary takeoff on the Hollywood screwball comedies of the 1930s.
A homage to Hollywood screwball comedy that by and large gets its pace and cartoon/slapstick timings right.
a fun, nostalgic trip to the screwball comedy days of old Hollywood featuring Striesand at her most likable
90 easy minutes of big laughs
Not successful as a screwball update; it manages instead to create a considerable diversion despite itself.
