CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

HotToastyRag I happen to think What's Up, Doc? is hilarious, but I think there are people out there who won't like it. I love Peter Bogdanovich comedies; he pays homage to the old screwball style and manages to keep it modern and fresh. And it's a really big compliment for me to like his films since I can't stand the screwball comedies of the 1930s!Dreamboat Ryan O'Neal stars as a wooden musicologist, thrown together by sheer coincidence with Barbra Streisand, a quirky troublemaker. They share hilariously fast banter, awkward situations, only-in-Hollywood screwball scenes, and . . . luggage? Yes, and you'll have to watch the movie to understand it. Barbra relentlessly pursues Ryan, even though he clearly wants nothing to do with him and is engaged to Madeline Kahn, and the absurdity of the film sets the tone for her madcap antics.If you're not sure if you'll split your sides laughing or roll your eyes and turn it off, watch the meet-cute clip in the beginning, in which Barbra, in her iconic houndstooth cap, utters the title line. If you laugh, you'll like the rest of the movie. And if you decide to stick with it, you'll get to see Ryan O'Neal make fun of Love Story!

Eric Stevenson I had to watch this because Doug Walker said it was the third best comedy ever made. What's amazing is that it outranked "Ghostbusters" and "Spaceballs", which he quotes all the time! I can see where he's coming from and believe it is better than those great comedies. My only complaint is that it does take awhile to really get good. He also mentioned that! It's at about the ten minute mark that it becomes relentless comedy.When I first saw the title, it seemed like a "Looney Tunes" movie. Turns out they are in fact featured a little. I'm not into Barbara Streisand much, but this is easily something that could make me a fan. I find it sad that the creators of "South Park" sincerely hate her and she even mentions Colorado in this movie! What makes this movie so funny is how it just gets funnier and funnier. When it seems like it's slowing down, it does something funny again. A lot of the jokes are around word play and it reminds me of "Airplane!", my favorite comedy movie. It's probably my second favorite romantic comedy, right next to "Annie Hall". The slapstick is great and it's so creative with its comedy. The characters are likeable enough for you to care about what's going on. It's hard not to recommend this to anybody. Watch this hilarious film for a great experience! ****

richard-1787 I wish I enjoyed this movie more, as others seem to have found it very funny.But for me, most of it, the scenes in the hotel, were too clearly an attempt to come up with an equivalent of a Feydeau bedroom farce like *The Lady from Maxim's* or *A Flea in her Ear*. The timing was wrong, though, and the lines too forced.Once we got out of the hotel and started driving all over San Francisco, it got funnier for me, but I didn't find it very original. Keystone Cops.Again, I wish I could have found it funnier - I was in a good mood - but it just seemed forced and imitative to me.

weezeralfalfa Barbara is the cute impish free-spirited daughter of a San Francisco judge: a knowledgeable perennial college dropout or expellee, who is arriving home on a plane. She inexplicably takes a strong interest in an absentminded young musicology professor(Ryan O'Neal) from the Midwest, also arriving on this plane with his nagging fiancé, Eunice, in pursuit of a grant for a very esoteric-sounding project(trying to prove that ancient man's first musical instruments were certain igneous rocks that make a tone when struck). Barbara causes a variety of traffic accidents in her initial pursuit of Ryan. She sees her chance when Ryan leaves Eunice outside to get some aspirin, when she begins her remarkably successful plan to worm her way into Ryan's life, eventually displacing Eunice. She checks into the hotel where Ryan + Eunice check in, along with two other parties who have overnight bags identical to those of Ryan and hers. The 4 bags, containing very different sets of items, get thoroughly mixed up by the incompetent bell boy, thus providing the basis for the remainder of this romantic comedy, in which the two get mixed up in the affairs of the others whose bags they have opened. Of course, after a variety of chases and mishaps , the two eventually become heroes, Eunice leaves Ryan, and Barbara secretly gets on the plane taking Ryan back to his college. It's all very contrived, of course,, but fun for the audience, if not for most of the characters. Liam Dunn, as Barbara's judge father, is a hoot, when the whole gang is brought into his courtroom to try to resolve their complaints about each other. He doesn't survive the experience!Incidentally, there are a few places around the world where rocks do ring when struck, and they are all igneous.If you like this sort of zany contrived screenplay, you might like an old 'made for TV' kung fu-spaghetti western hybrid farce , called "Blood Money", presently available as part of an 8 westerns DVD set. The 4 mixed up bags of the present film brought to mind the 4 sexy butts that were tattooed, in Chinese, each with partial instructions to finding a hidden treasure, in this slightly later film. Two teams(one good, one bad) compete to find the scattered women and find a way to gaining access to their butts.This film also somewhat reminds me of the well regarded Preston Sturges '41 film "Sullivan's Travels", in which Joel McCrea and Veronica Lake meet by chance and go on an unlikely odyssey.
