Bringing up Baby

We just finished another film in our 4th period art of film class, Bringing up Baby. Its a ridiculous screwball comedy the deals with a woman falling in love with a man and in an attempt to keep him for herself she sets of a series of comedic events that eventually short change the man quite severely. I found this movie almost annoying in some cases, especially when Susan would try to coax David into another laughable scheme or scenario where hes completley clueless and shes making up stories as to get by. She foolishly follows David around hopelessly in love with him throughout the story. I did like some of the slapstick humor that was produced such as the falling down the hill, both David and Susan walking into the stream, and the crashing of the brontosaur skeleton at the end. It definitely leads me to not be opposed to viewing films from the same genre of screwball comedy's, however, it doesn't necessarily make me race out the door to go rent them.
