 I Can't Give You Anything But Love February 16, 2008
Bringing Up Baby is one of the funniest, and one of my favorite, comedies ever! I watched it with my little brothers and they loved it! Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn are hilariously funny! They make a great team!
Cary Grant is David Huxley, a stuffy paleontologist hoping for an a million dollar donation to complete his brontosaurus skeleton. He meets Susan Vance (Katharine Hepburn), a nutty heiress who falls for him and does everything and anything that comes to her mind to keep him near you (after all, "David, your so handsome without your glasses!") She takes his car, rips his tuxedo, tells her aunt ( the one who is planning on donating the $1 million) that his name is "Mr. Bone" and that he is crazy, and convinces him into helping her take "Baby," her pet leopard to her home in the country. Along the way, the dog - George- takes, and buries his intercostal clavicle, the last bone needed to finish his skeleton (the one that took five years and three expeditions to find). Susan's suggestion, "Now that they know where to find them couldn't you just send them back to get another?" They end up in jail...and with two leopards ("Baby" and a vicious leopard that escaped from a circus). This is a must-see comedy!
 Digitally Remastered Plus Special Features Means Value For Money! February 10, 2008

There are few who come close to Cary Grant when it comes to making the great screwball comedy. From "His Girl Friday" to "The Philadelphia Story", Grant's genius of the genre is obvious for all to see. Here in this dvd we get great acting from a great cast and a great script also makes for an enjoyable movie that ages better than one would expect from a film that's more than 70 years old.
The visuals are improved somewhat with the digital remastering but the audio which is in the original mono leaves much to be desired. I found the bonus extras on the second disc to be a real plus though. We get two documentaries on the life and legacy of Cary Grant as well as that of the director Howard Hawks. I also found the comedy short and the cartoon entertaining as well.
Overall, this is a good movie and this dvd is a good way to view it although it would have been better if they we able to improve the sound quality to a 5.1 surround option the way Disney did with "Snow White".
"Micky the Mouse and Donald the Duck" January 22, 2008
What a funny, and fun movie this is. Cary Grant had the ability to go from dashing and confident (it takes a thief) to bumbling and clueless(bringing up baby and monkey business) and to do so effortlessly. The pairing of Grant and the gorgeous Katherine Hepburn in this film was inspired. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who wishes to see what real movie stars were about, and to anyone who loves a good zany comedy with loads of star power. I can't say enough good things about "Bringing Up Baby". Buy it, rent it, borrow it, or find it on on TV, but WATCH IT!

Great old movie. Received quick & no problems with CD. Highly recommended for your collection.
Great family movie November 29, 2007
Once my children (ages 8,6, and 5) got over the fact they were watching a "brown" movie (their word for blk and white), they were delighted with this film. Usually they are viewing Hannah Montana and Suite Life with Zack and Cody so I thought a change was in order. Very very funny film for grown ups and kids. The rapid fire dialogue was hilarious! We highly reccomend it.
