Often hilarious, but steeped in dated tropes such as prewar views of mental illness.

This is a classic, hilarious, wacky comedy that knows no bounds. I seriously doubt the romance found at the end, but watching Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn own these characters, totally and completely, you have to submit to the obscurity and unbelievability of this movie's events. Howard Hawks has a carefully orchestrated act going on here that starts early and never lets up. Despite a few lengthy bits that may overstay their welcome, "Bringing up a Baby" is classic comedic tour-de-force.

Grant and Hepburn in a transcendent piece of silliness. Hepburn's Susan Vance creates a self-contained world of charming lunacy, a world that Grant's David Huxley--and the delighted viewer--are completely captivated by.

I was hoping the entire third act would be Cary Grant reviving the brontosaurus to kill Hepburn.

A few missteps and not one of Hawks' better films but still enjoyable and entertaining throughout. Not for everyone and I definitely understand the complaints but I still think it is worth seeing. Once again Cary Grant elevates everything.

A major precursor for 'Fight Club' about a man of the system whose sudden infatuation with a girl that has non, leads to the demise of his world and his former convictions. What 'Bringing Up Baby' does exceptionally well is disclose the silly pursuits of those 'normal' people that Hepburn's bundle of chaos rolls over in her near aimless shenanigans. What the film does less well is give the audience a few resting points from the highly paced madness. Also, the ending seems horribly forced.

Instead of being funny or amusing, while watching this I felt more like Cary Grant's character; profoundly frustrated. My distaste for Katharine Hepburn has reached new heights.

A Very fast-talking comedy, the actor's couldn't be better either.

Hilarious comedy.

The loudmouthed, obnoxious Hepburn and Grant are nearly as intolerable as they are in The Philadelphia Story, and it's really beyond me the adulation that this pairing receives. However, from Baby's first entrance and then every time he is on screen or anything to do with him - there is a vast improvement. Unfortunately there's not enough of him to make up for the annoying leads or the frivolous yet largely unfunny text.

Early screwball comedy that executes all of its goofy gags with adherent precision. It is silly, puerile, infantile and brainless. However, Grant and Hepburn are so zealous and committed to their roles that they make this somewhat more preferable.
