Leave your thoughts about What's Up, Doc?.
| F5 (Wichita, KS)Jake EukerNot successful as a screwball update; it manages instead to create a considerable diversion despite itself. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeHolds up today as one of Bogdanovich's best films. |
| Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)Jeffrey WesthoffBogdanovich's slapstick tribute lives up to its inspiration. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseNo one is going to match Grant and Hepburn, but Ryan O'Neal and Barbra Streisand give it the ol' college try in the criminally entertaining What's Up, Doc? [Blu-ray] |
| TIME MagazineJay CocksThe result is a comedy made by a man who has seen a lot of movies, knows all the mechanics, and has absolutely no sense of humor. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThe film builds on itself, gaining speed as it careens out-of-control toward its conclusion. Only a director in complete control can fashion something so effortlessly chaotic. |
| Empire MagazineIan NathanIt's never quite as tight or fierce as the original screwballers, but is fizzy and loveable and always worth watching. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe strength of a movie like this, of course, is that you don't have to believe too much for too long, because there's something else happening. |
| New York TimesVincent CanbyNot the least of Bogdanovich's triumphs is his success in scaling down Miss Streisand's superstar personality to fit the dimensions of farce. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonStands out as one of the great, if semi-forgotten comedy masterpieces of the 1970s. |
