The movie works. It is food at last for we who hunger for a screwball comedy utterly lacking in redeeming social importance.

In Bogdanovich’s analytical twist on the genre, even joyous liberation leaves a huge mess.

Only a director in complete control can fashion something so effortlessly chaotic. What’s Up Doc? is one of the signature comedies of the 1970s whose throwback mixture of madcap hijinks and rat-a-tat-tat dialogue still works for a generation twice removed from its influences.
