Ellipsis Movie Of The Week... What's Up Doc?

 

"I must point out that, "consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds."

Mr. Larrabee (Austin Pendleton)

What's Up Doc?

I have such good memories of watching this movie! Like the time my mother and I watched it on an old black and white tv, really late, on a hot as HELL night, when we couldn't sleep. We laughed so hard our sides hurt, and let me tell you, we slept pretty well that night! That's what this marvelous movie will do for you, make you laugh! It has a fabulous cast, including Madeline Kahn in her film debut! Slapstick humor, right and left, starting at Mr. Larrabee's party and continuing on until it all comes to rest in the San Francisco Bay! Things are rough right now, so watch this great movie and give yourself a couple hours away from whatever ails you! A little piece of advice though, if you ever find yourself in an airport, carrying a plaid carryon bag, keep it close to you, because otherwise hilarity might just ensue!

One of my favorite scenes in the movie...

"Just remember in every pothole there is hope Well, you see, pothole is spelled P-O-T-H-O-L-E. So, if you take the P, and add it to the H, the O, and the E, and rearrange the letters or contrariwise, you remove the O, T and the L, you get 'home". So, just remember, in every pothole there is hope".

~Phillip ( Steve Martin )

Mixed Nuts

By Nora Ephron

I watched this movie comedy last night, and I felt so good laughing. It's a lot of crazy situational fun. It's also so heartwarming. It's a Christmas gem that I have almost never heard of as a Christmas movie. I can't figure out why? It has a terrific cast including, Steve Martin, Rita Wilson, Adam Sandler, and the magnificent, Madeline Kahn. Rob Reiner is very funny as a veterinarian. The timing all around was magical!

Need another Christmastime comedy? This movie brings it!
