Plot:
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 Ba...( read more 
). 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

MCT:June 7, 2008Brilliant film, one of the great comedies of flimdom. Smart writing, terrific physical comedy, this film has it all!
-
MCT:June 7, 2008what a great film, so funny when streisand was at her best, and ryan o'neal waht a good actor, two great characters that make it really interesting,all the other characters are funny and quirky too.
Every minute is interesting, a real comedy with a clash of personalities between the characters and lots of mix ups and twists between four suitcases within the hotel.
its a sweet film with a little romance of course but mostly just fun with lots of crazy stuff going on, its just mayhem.
Ignore everyone elses reviews i know good films when i see them, worth watching in my opinion. -
MCT:April 10, 2008Streisand is all that is cruel and evil in this world. Her music is awful. Her movies are worse. She loves the sound of orgasms. Can you say weird? I can't without saying Striesand. I have smelt farts taht entertained me more than BABS ever will. Rosie O'Donnel's ever growing love for her sickens me. Vote libertarian.

wow. i never thought i would love a movie that Babs was in- but this is genuinely hilarious. a screwball comedy from the 70's that just doesn't stop. the scene in the hotel room (as it's catching on fire) had me in tears.

The last of the great slapsticks. This movie is begging you to turn off your cynicism and love it forever!

Probably my favorite comedy of all time. Infinitely watchable, I have seen this movie 20-30 times and it still cracks me up. Yes, it's an homage to screwball comedies, and you'll laugh more if have seen some of the classics, but it also *is* a screwball comedy and more than holds its own against its forbears.

I need to see this again. I remember liking it a lot as a kid but I might see it differently now. I have fond memories though!
-
MCT:October 25, 2007Bogdanovich, an eloquent director but most important of all an avid cinephile, puts his love for the old screwball comedies in this wacky film that (of course) lacks the charm of the classics it was inspired by. some hilarious moments save the day.

Streisand was sexy in the 70s and I love the way she sang. Pretty light hearted romp (as were most of her movies around this time) so very easy viewing for a rainy Sunday arvo.

Classic farce brilliantly exceuted...great cast, San Fran looking pretty. More suitcases than I can remember - has to be seen.

I think this movie takes comedy to a new level. It is a smart and fresh comedy. Every word in the movie has a twist or double meaning.

"There's not much to see actually. We're inside a Chinese dragon."
Kinda like Bringing Up Baby meets one of those 70s's Alka Seltzer commercials - with Babs. A funny, silly movie. -
MCT:July 19, 2007
MOST AMAZiING movie ever its so witty...but alot of people dont get it so you got to have a really good sense of humor
-
MCT:July 14, 2007Quite a funny homage to the screwball comedys of the 40s, Ryan O'Neal's bookish hero and Streisand's wacky goofball hark back to the likes of Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn's Bringing Up Baby. It's not the measure of the best of the genre, but not bad at all.

This is the most hilarious movie ever. it's been a long time since i've seen it and i definately wanna see it again!!

I love this nonsense. One of the classics from my world. Seen two billion times. I want to be the her that she is in this film, that she is the antithesis of now.

"There's not much to see actually. We're inside a Chinese dragon." - my favorite line from this old yet still highly amusing comedy.

Buck Henry, Peter Bogdanovich, screwball comedy with Streisand and O'Neal and a cast of wacksters. Who could ask for more???
-
MCT:May 19, 2007
Great slapstick comedy that still holds up. Classic! One of Barbra's best comedies. Ryan O'Neal plays the straight man with ease. Madeline Kahn's debut as Eunice Burns is fantastic! Look for a bit part by Randy Quaid. Barbra and Ryan really were a great comedy team.
