Hepburn is hot, but the movie looks like a Mexican soap opera.

I'm glad at least 11 people hate this film as much as me. Cary Grant gives his greatest non-performance of his largely acting-free career.

I try, but I just can't stand Cary Grant... Jimmy is amazing, though.

Great movie, very funny and fast paced dialogu; the cast is great together. One small nitpick is the very end, felt a tad rushed and possibly even unnecessary but I guess they wanted some sort of happy ending, would have been pretty satisfied personally if no one ended up together but maybe that's just me.

In The Philadelphia Story, Katharine Hepburn is a rich heiress once married to the abusive Cary Grant, and about to marry a solid middle class gentleman. A newspaper with an axe to grind against her father sends Grant and irascible writer Jimmy Stewart to her wedding to see what kind of drama can be dug up. In the days leading up to the big event, she gets to compare the two intrusive men to her fiance, which turns this romcom/screwball set-up into character examination territory. Hepburn wants to be loved, obviously, but she's not quick to trust because she fears being seen as a fortune, or else, because of her beauty, as an objet d'art. What are love and marriage about for her? That's what she's got to learn, and through a strong script and equally strong performances from all involved, she does. Whether or not you agree with her final choice is up to you, but it's hers, and she earned the right to make it.
