His Girl Friday is probably the best movie we've watched this semester. It was funny and i liked the main character she was just as the female lead of any screwball comedy should be; she was strong intelligent and had an attitude. Her husband was rather unusual in the fact that he was also strong in the screwball. The writers did a wonderful job of making the movie upbeat; even when a character tried to commit suicide the scene was still somehow a happy one... The fast pace and speedy talking were what did it especially during the scenes when something big and newsworthy happened and they were all on the phone. Walter had a very strange way of showing his affection to Hildy. He made her see that she loved the newspaper and was too free-spirited to ever settle down with Bruce and in the process keeps screwing up Bruce's life. It was a battle of whits through the whole movie and it was great.

"she was strong intelligent and had an attitude" Eh, she was strong and intelligent, but I didn't like how she fell to her weakness as she just didn't let go of Walter. Maybe it was just me and I dislike characters that can't commit to anything. I also liked how you talk about the fast paced talking, as I talked about this aspect of the film in my entire post. Great post.
This is an asome blog because it showed alot about the movie and what the characters reactions were when some thing happen. I like hildy because she is storng and has a passion for what she is doing. Though I dont like Bruce because he is alittle weird and stupid. I dont know why Hildy wants to get married to him. He is just use less at the end of the movie because he just leaves with his mother. Although this has been a funny movie to watch. I liked your review. Nice Job!
