   Summary: Pleased with service and product
This is my first time ordering from Amazon.com and I am very pleased. The DVD I orederd was deliverd with in the time stated. And it is nice that you can track your purchase online.

As for the movie "Whats Up Doc?" I loved it. I am a Barbra Fan and I think this is one of her best performances. And she lookes so young, hip and beutiful. Make sure to watch the commentary by Barbra as well as the Director commentary. Very intersting facts and cool insights. I think I am going to order "The Main Event" next.

   Summary: Wonderful movie
One of hollywood's great comedies. It is perfect for the whole family and is one of our family's absolute favorites.

   Summary: Screwball is supposed to mean funny. . .
I had not seen this film since it first came out - and now I know why I had forgotten all about it.

The great, and even average, screwball comedies have an internal consistency and characters we believe live in their odd little worlds. Unfortunately, "What's Up Doc?" misses on almost all fronts. While a fan of Buck Henry and Peter Bogdanovich, I have a hard time equating the poor pacing and mediocrity of this forced comedy with such artists. If nothing else, there are way too many written gems thrown away due to poor timing - and whether Bogdanovich couldn't get the performances he wanted or he intended to rush comic line deliveries, I don't know.

Madeleine Kahn is the true jewel in this not so madcap piece. "Eunice" is complete and a joy because of it. Few of the other characters rise to the same level of 100% believable pure comic characterization. Ryan O'Neal zips through almost all his comic beats and Barbara Streisand is so busy "being funny", she isn't funny at all. O'Neal and Streisand give us performances while Kahn IS Eunice. So sad we lost her as early as we did.

With a supporting cast including the likes of Kenneth Mars and Austin Pendleton, I expected much more. Good comedy finds its own energy and carries us along while we easily forgive any flaws and give in to the willing suspension of disbelief. From the outset, there are too many story holes, pushed performances, and pacing inconsistencies for even me to suspend that much.

   Summary: Great Fun
This comedy is a classic. Fast moving and very funny. Ryan O'Neal is great as the straight man to Barbara Streisand's wackyness. Watch for Madelyn Kahn as the girlfriend. Just see if you can keep up with the plaid satchels. Very clever and very funny.

   Summary: What's Up Doc....the best!
We have watched "What's Up Doc" over, and over, and over for many, many years....and never tire of the comedy!
