Description:
Too many kooks spoil the comedy soup? Not when BARBRA STREISAND and RYAN O'NEAL lead a madcap cast (including screen-debuting MADELINE KAHN) on a zany quest that's like a classic screwball comedy - only screwier!
Amazon.com essential video:
Director Peter Bogdanovich (The Last Picture Show) tipped his hat to the classic screwball comedies of the 1930s, and especially the most glorious of them all, Howard Hawks' Bringing Up Baby. Barbra Streisand plays a charming flake who distracts a self-absorbed musicologist (Ryan O'Neal). He's engaged to be married, but soon Streisand's character has him chasing after stolen jewelry and getting into one madcap fix after another. Bogdanovich, who is also a film critic, understands the engine of the screwball genre, and his loving revival of the form brings a smile, though it is not quite consistently inspired or funny. There are plenty of great moments, however, including a slap at O'Neal's own star-making vehicle, Love Story. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - A real screwball comedy for anyone who can count!!
I first saw this movie when I was a kid. But now that it is available on DVD, watching it again after 30 years sure brings back memories of the way comedies were done in the early 70s. Striesand was at her usual self, a good role for her and she went on to do better in THE MAIN EVENT pairing up again with O' Neal. Just wondering how the two felt about each other when they were cast again in opposite roles...But the climax in What's Up Doc is the judge in the court turns up to be Streisand's father. ...

Rating:  - Tons of laughs!!!
This is one very funny movie-one that the whole family can enjoy together without the threat of boredom. This writer is one for one-liners, puns, and jokes of all sorts and this movie allowed me to rant and rave about it's funny points. The entire cast does a great job under the great direction of Peter Bogdanovich. From beginning to end this movie will have you laughing, giggling, clapping, and smiling all the way through. The cinema was packed for this film when it opened back in the 70's. I'm glad it ... Read More
Rating: - IT'S THE TOP
A true classic. Every frame, every shot is in place. Laughter all the way. Smart, silly, witty, and funny. I have composed a new verse of Cole Porter's classic that Streisand sings over the opening and closing credits.

'You're the top
You're Barack Obama,
You're the top
You're the Dalai Lama,
I'm the GOP
An SOB, a fop!
But if, Baby, I'm the bottom...
You're the top.
(And so's this movie.)

As for the movie "Whats Up Doc?" I loved it. I am a Barbra Fan and I think this is one of her best performances. And she lookes so young, hip and beutiful. Make sure to watch the commentary by Barbra as well as the Director commentary. Very intersting facts and cool insights. I think I am going to order "The Main ... Read More
