Bringing Up Baby
My 1938th logged film on Letterboxd
Man I really wanted to like this film, but I just could not get myself to like Susan, and since she's half of the comedy. She's just so.. annoying, and behaves like an 8 year old stuck in a 30 year old woman's body.
I like screwball comedies, so I thought I'd enjoy this one since it's like one of the most well beloved ones out there, but I just really didn't enjoy this.
I also just feel kind of bad for the Leopard that acted as Baby, and also the dog that had to WRESTLE A LEOPARD.
Sad I didn't like this but what can you do :(
