Bringing Up Baby

This film was a comedy, but not just any comedy, it was a screwball comedy. Screwball movies usually consist of back and forth conversation  at a really fast past. This 1938 movie was directed by howard Hawks a very famous and proper director. The stars of this movie are Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant, and Charels Ruggels.

A anxious paleontologist named David, (Cary Grant) who is about to complete one of his most prized museum exhibits, runs into a peppy fireball that goes by the name of Susan, (Katherine Hepburn). Susan distorts Davids life from boring and concentratded to fun and frustrating. With the help of her leapord "Baby" Susan and David face many exotic and facinating adventures. See what happens when Baby dissapears and when David and Susan adapt feelings for each other.

Many aspects of this movie are great for example the stunts portrayed by every actor when they had a scene with the leapord.From my point of view this was the only good thing about the movie. After watching this movie my head was hearting due to all the back and forth ranting. The thing with screball comedies is that you either like them a lot or you desperatley hate them. I'm one of the people who hates them soo much. The screwball comedy basically messed up everyones acting and sometime the dialouge was difficult to understand. Like in the part when everyone is confused on the point of who David is and why he is wearing girls clothing. In this scene everyone is talking like they would in screwball movies and the dog is barking so its really loud and very confusing to understand whats really going on.

This movie is a movie to watch with the family. I wouldnt recomend this for a younger audience due to the fact that some scenes are very annoying and the movie could be misunderstood.If you are person who can undestand anything no matter how loud it gets the this movei is for you. Otherwise just use subtitles because that is what i would'v done.
