tommymarhoefer When you search for this movie, there is a review that is ironic, yet factual in its basis. ironic because it is super long and super long-winded. ironic because reading the review might take longer than watching the film. Factual, well because he does offer some interesting facts about the history, including its theatrical beginnings. anyways, the fastest, smartest, snappiest dialogue ever. it is awesome. If you are looking for a film with almost zero action but is so clever that you will leave awed and smiling, this is it.
steffaneybenson This film had its ups and downs. It was a comic for sure ! But I was upset about the fact that She had divorced Walter and decided to start a brand new life with her soon to be husband Bruce but then Walter had to LITERALLY RUIN everything that they had planned together. Poor Bruce did not know what had hit him. I do not like Walter for doing such a thing. They got a divorce for a reason ! But then decided to get married again at the end of the movie... ohhh how well there second marriage will work out! geeeshhhh.
hayleygorman-43033 I did not expect this movie to be the way that it was, but I was blown away! A beautiful, hilarious mix of comedy, drama and heart. Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell were masters of their craft, with a palpable chemistry between their characters due to their proficiency in acting. The side characters were wonderful as well, enhancing the story without taking focus away from the main players or the plot. The cinematography was excellent, they managed to do so much within the newspaper room, where a majority of the movie takes place but it manages to never make the audience feel like they're stuck there. I didn't expect the drama but I think it very much enhanced the film, adding stakes to what was already a seat-gripping story. This truly elevated the screwball comedy genre and both Cary and Rosalind's career to new heights, delivering a sucker-punch of a performance that leaves you breathless.
gea-79784 This movie is very well done and written, it is just so fast paced where i felt like i missed a lot. Really enjoyed the film though, i loved the strong female lead. It was super cool how the director weaved in two different story lines into the movie. The love triangle of Hildy, Walter, and Bruce. I was a little disappointed in the ending as i was hoping Hildy would've turned down Walter. I guess it wouldn't be a screwball comedy if they didn't end up together in the end though.
