Whats Up Doc Movie Review
A pedestrian inadvertently causes a motorcycle accident and a car accident.
Whats up doc movie review. Looks like a cross between an aardvark and an albino rat surmounted by a platinum coated horse bun. Watch a lot of comedy before you watch this one so your laughing muscles will be in shape that way you wont hurt yourself. Is a fun light hearted farce that succeeds because barbara streisand can be quite charming and ryan oneal has a good dry stone faced delivery. Whats up doc is only about 90 minutes long takes no time for sloppy romantic scenes and remembers to be funny even when miss streisand is singing she reclines on top of the piano natch.
Is rated g by the mpaa violence. Naturally has a life of its own but its inspiration is derived from other excellent comedies. A movie review by james berardinelli until recently re watching it i had forgotten how funny whats up doc. This is a funny funny movie.
Ryan oneal and the always hilarious unfortunately late madeline kahn also make this movie just a hoot to watch. Simon called whats up doc. The combination of peter bogdanovichs pacing buck henrys humor and the actors comedic timing makes for one of the funniest outings of the 1970s. This is her first outing in a small totally comic movie.
Bannister arrives at a hotel to present his findings about ancient societies using rocks as primitive instruments. Centers on a madcap young woman barbra streisand judy maxwell who disrupts the life of shy bespectacled professor howard bannister ryan oneal. Like the classic screwball comedies of the 1930s whats up doc. Full review in spanish full review.
In his review of whats up doc critic john simon said of barbra streisand. Of course the film itself is a madcap adventure and she just fit right in. A heavy handed attempt at nostalgia.
