What's Up, Doc? (1972)
I happen to think What’s Up, Doc? is hilarious, but I think there are people out there who won’t like it. I love Peter Bogdanovich comedies; he pays homage to the old screwball style and manages to keep it modern and fresh. And it’s a really big compliment for me to like his films since I can’t stand the screwball comedies of the 1930s!
Dreamboat Ryan O’Neal stars as a wooden musicologist, thrown together by sheer coincidence with Barbra Streisand, a quirky troublemaker. They share hilariously fast banter, awkward situations, only-in-Hollywood screwball scenes, and . . . luggage? Yes, and you’ll have to watch the movie to understand it. Barbra relentlessly pursues Ryan, even though he clearly wants nothing to do with him and is engaged to Madeline Kahn, and the absurdity of the film sets the tone for her madcap antics.
If you’re not sure if you’ll split your sides laughing or roll your eyes and turn it off, watch the meet-cute clip in the beginning, in which Barbra, in her iconic houndstooth cap, utters the title line. If you laugh, you’ll like the rest of the movie. And if you decide to stick with it, you’ll get to see Ryan O’Neal make fun of Love Story!
