Of course you are going to get a charming and fun comedy from a Grant/Hepburn screwball comedy from the 30's, but this one had potential to a lot better. Grant is a everyman who is going to marry into a rich family, but falls for his fiancee's more grounded sister. Cukor's direction is great and the actors are easy to watch and believable in their roles. Holiday starts off strong, but there is something missing, and it doesn't have the magic that Bringing Up Baby and The Philadelphia Story have. Good movie, but not a classic.

At times very original and very funny and other times just plain chaotic. Putney Swope is Robert Downey Sr's satire about what would happen if a revolutionary black man was put in charge of one of America's biggest advertising agencies in the late 60's. This movie has a great opening and some great scenes and laugh out loud moments. Arnold Johnson is very good as Putney and Robert Downey Sr.'s voice over of Putney makes the character even better. I might have liked it more if it wouldn't have gone so crazy at times. It's such a interesting story I think it would have worked as a regular satire narrative. It is a movie of it's time, so it's a bit dated,but shot in B/W documentary style does make it timeless. It is defiantly worth a watch and it will help you understand a joke in Johnny Be Good better.
