#151 - What's Up, Doc? (1972)

So, recently, I've been introducing my younger brothers to a lot of movies of different genres that are among some of my personal favorites (especially slightly more aged films, since their knowledge of classics is woful), and thus, I'm not super concerned about keeping to my "90% new films" quota as much, anymore, since isn't my goal to make this as fun and educational (yes, it can be both) as possible?

This brings us to tonight's film, the Peter Bogdanovich screwball comedy What's Up, Doc? starring Ryan O'Neal, Barbra Streisand, and Madeline Kahn that, even though I've seen it many times before, never fails to make me laugh.  It's replete with mistaken identities, dextrous wordplay, clever situations, and gobs of sight gags that enhance, rather than detract from, the "main" points.

Also, since I love the movie so much, I'm going to give a little shout out to Erika, who was the one who introduced me to this film.  Thanks!

Score: 9.5/10
