"Bringing up Baby" is the perfect definition of the phrase, screwball comedy. Like many others who have watched this movie, I felt it was very over the top and absurd. That being said I believe that it's absurdity was entirely intentional and brilliantly executed.
Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant are both incredible actors and when paired together in "Bringing up Baby" their talent is portrayed at new heights. Cary Grant seems so naturally awkward, nervous and madcap while Katherine Hepburn's performance as a crazy, yet adorable lady-lunatic, appears amazingly fluid and effortless. Hepburn's perfect comedic timing and quick wit and tongue fit perfectly with the extreme speed of the movie.
As over the top and screwy as this comedy is, I believe it to be an undeniably charming and timeless film.
