My, how this script is yar. A must watch. The crackling, whip-smart script provides excellent fodder for Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant and a young Jimmy Stewart to play to their strengths. Grant is irascible as the charming hero secretly pining for his ex-wife who is set to marry again. Hepburn, notably written about as a cold, unapproachable star seems to take the words to heart when the same is said about her character. Every actor delivers here. One of cinema's classic stories.

Great cast (obviously) + the afterparty scene is rightfully praised. I don't think the script is up there with some other screwball classics, but still warmly recommended.

Arguably the greatest romantic comedy put to film. The trio of Hepburn, Stewart and Grant is irresistible. Hilarious. So many zingers. But with an entertaining storyline to match.

Little romance, little comedy, but still interesting to watch. If you can ignore all of the problematic behaviour displayed and rewarded, that is.

Consistently amusing, occasionally laugh-out-loud hilarious, and always very watchable. The three leads are good, of course, but it reaches its greatest heights when Stewart is on screen. Still, I don't feel quite as strongly for it as its glowing reputation might suggest.

From a modern perspective, this movie is full of questionable if not outright baffling takes on morals, relationships and class, But thanks to the mostly snappy script and the extremely talented cast it is still quite fun to watch.
