Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Alistair Olson After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

skylarmoffat While this film was named a comedy while watching it at first I thought it was rather sad. Hildey is in the middle of divorcing someone that loves her still, a man is about to be sent to death, and nothing truly seems rather happy. but as I was watching I found the characters rather funny, molly very overdramatic hildey rather sarcastic, and the reporters frantic, and dumb. parts of the film are very funny, when theyre running from phone to phone, or out to eat, and the situation is rather awkward, while some are sad, When hildey is talking to the prisoner, and when Molly jumps out the window.

hayleygorman-43033 I did not expect this movie to be the way that it was, but I was blown away! A beautiful, hilarious mix of comedy, drama and heart. Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell were masters of their craft, with a palpable chemistry between their characters due to their proficiency in acting. The side characters were wonderful as well, enhancing the story without taking focus away from the main players or the plot. The cinematography was excellent, they managed to do so much within the newspaper room, where a majority of the movie takes place but it manages to never make the audience feel like they're stuck there. I didn't expect the drama but I think it very much enhanced the film, adding stakes to what was already a seat-gripping story. This truly elevated the screwball comedy genre and both Cary and Rosalind's career to new heights, delivering a sucker-punch of a performance that leaves you breathless.

justinmethe Going into this movie I thought it was going to be a lot like the movie My Man Godfrey, and it was just ramped up about ten times. Not everything about this movie was that annoying, I did find myself laughing at some parts and it flowed very well but in my opinion the majority of it was just loud and annoying. I hated when they would all be talking very loudly over each other and it gave me a more unamusing vibe than an amusing one. I also found Cary Grants character to be just annoyingly selfish throughout this movie and really didn't care for his wife or what she wanted and would only be satisfied if he got his way. But what made that situation so unbelievable is how selfish Rosalind Russell's character was as well and truthfully I believe they would've been perfect for each other if they would just wake up and smell the coffee for two seconds! Overall not a horrible movie but I believe if they just slowed it down a little and mad the characters a little more likable or maybe just one of the more likable I would've enjoyed it more.

eriliddle Recently, I watched Howard Hawk's His Girl Friday, and I absolutely loved it. It was genuinely funny, which already caught me by surprise, and it was a fast-paced and frantic film. The continuous dialogue and witty comments kept the film interesting. However, despite being a lovely film, it has its flaws. Seeing the film in 2017 and not in 1940 could alter the expectations I had for this film. The first one would be the relationship Walter had with Bruce, I'm uncertain how different my perspective would alter the 1940's context, but through my modern day perspective, I found it strange how understanding Bruce was of Walter and Hildy. I'm unsure whether that was supposed to show the Bruce was a bleaker man compared to Walter; that he was just a boring insurance man. Compared to Walter, who lies, manipulates, and cheats to get what he wants. Yet, I still find it odd that a man would let another man say he loves his future wife and acts horribly towards her without anything negative reflecting consequences. It's confusing how this was meant to be interpreted. Was this a way to show Walter as a caring and loving man from a comedic point of view? Or were the viewers supposed to think that Bruce was a chump who didn't deserve Hildy?Another thing I dislike about this film was the ending. When Hildy decided to remarry Walter despite him making empty promises, I was left with the feeling that their second marriage was going to end for the same reasons the first marriage ended. I disliked this so much because I truly thought that Rosalind Russell portrayed Hildy Johnson so brilliantly; she quickly became my favorite character in the film. A memorable and vibrant character, who was also the funniest. I was rooting for her to have a better, more suitable ending for her character. Having her start crying because of Walter's manipulation (where he immediately stopped wanting her as soon as she wanted him) halted the mood of the film. The ending was ruined for me personally, due to the fact that Walter spent the whole movie dominating her and standing in her way. Only to see Hildy being mistreated all the way through the end.
