  'Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn run around after a leopard' is all you really need to know. It relies on slapstick for a fair part of the film, as ... read more »

  Comic genius
  
  Only Some Like it Hot is better when it comes to comedy in my book (actually, I might even make it a tie!)

  Absolutely brilliant - a true classic
  
  One of the best slapstick comedies ever- yes it's dated in part but you have to accept it for what it is- it was made in 1938 by 2 of the funniest actors of... read more »

  Simply Brilliant
  
  Quite simply one of the best films ever made. The film that put the screwball into Screwball Comedy. Along with Arsenic and Old Lace it shows Cary Grant’s ... read more »

  Timeless comedy
  
  Comedy that doesn't go out of date. Physical comedy and witty banter, light, well-paced romp.

  Excellent
  
  I don't think I have seen a funnier film - but you have to like farce. It was worth waiting for. A flim I would love to watch again - and again.

  VERY DATED
  
  Alas, humour does not stay the course. Thought to be hilarious in its day, it is now pure corn, forced gags that are not at all funny. And K. Hepburn is ... read more »

  Entertaining
  
  An entertaining slapstick comedy that relies more on visual gags rather than sharp, witty dialouge that i have seen Cary Grant preform in His Girl Friday. Still... read more »
