Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Executscan Expected more
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
loganalaxanian This film felt very promising in the beginning with the fast pace comedy and witty banter between Hildy and Walter. This pace eventually became too much at one point and couldn't wait for the film to be over. The characters were pretty annoying except for Bruce. I also found the side plot with the escaped prisoner distracting and unnecessary.
cmaddison-169-227837 OMG!! I've just watched this movie and I have a headache!! Grant has always had verbose conversations in his movies but this one takes the cake. I had to stop it half way through in order to relax a bit. And it gets worse as you get further into the movie. My shoulders were up by my ears and my neck was tight. The dialogue was so packed all I can think is that they would have only been able to shoot 10 minutes of usable film a week with this one. They would have been exhausted otherwise.
m-krajeski His Girl Friday is a witty, fast talking, story that takes an original route. Two characters with a shared past, experience the limits of their professions as well as their love. Sometimes it only takes a life experience to make you realize what was meant to be. Cary Grant, and Rosalind Russel do an great job personifying their characters, making the film feel authentic and their characters Walter and Hildy, convincing and endearing. Although the plot isn't the strongest, nor the most engaging to the audience, the protagonists as well as the supporting cast carry the movie to the level of notoriety it holds today.
zachdignum I found this film to be a wonderful film. It was an easy movie to watch. There were moments of humor, romance, action, and even some suspense. It had just about everything you could want in a movie. On top of that the female lead was strong-willed and was one of the best parts of the film. This would be a great film to watch if your not accustomed to black and white movies due to the range of genre the film has. There is something for everyone to enjoy.
