Bringing up Baby!!!


This 1938 comedy tells the story of David Huxley (Carey Grant), a paleontologist living in New York who just received the final bone for the Brontosaurus he has been trying to put together for his museum. He is about to get married to his girlfriend, Alice Swallow (Virginia Walker), and must make a good impression upon a woman named Mrs. Random (May Robson), a rich woman who may give out a million dollars to his museum. As you can tell, this man is STRESSED.
The day before David's wedding, he meets a young woman named Susan Vance (Katherine Hepburn) who is eccentric and free-spirited. Susan immediately likes David and wants to do everything she can do to stop him from marrying his girlfriend including making him drive to Connecticut with her to drop off a leopard her brother sent her from Brazille named Baby. The two of them encounter many problems and that you never would think could happen in any given situation.

You Again!!!

This movie is so amazing, all of you out there who haven't seen it, NEED TO. When Marni Olsen (Kristen Bell) was in high school, she had acne, braces, glasses and was bullied terribly. Her high school experience was a horror movie and she will never forget the head cheerleader who hurt her the most, JJ (Odette Yustman).
But now, Marni is all grown up and is a beautiful, successful woman who is a public relations executive and has recently been promoted to a great job in New York. Can life get any better?
Unfortunately, when Marni goes home for her brother, Will's (James Wolk) wedding, she finds out that his bride, Joanna, used to go by a different nickname in high school: JJ. Marni's worst enemy is going to be her brother's new wife. Meanwhile, Marni's parents, Gail (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Mark Olsen (Victor Garber) think Joanna is wonderful and are very excited about the upcoming wedding. Gail's excitement for the wedding is suddenly shattered when Joanna invites her Aunt Mona (Sigourney Weaver) over to the Olsen house. It turns out Mona and Gail were best friends in high school...until Mona pushed Gail into a pool at their senior prom. Mona is now very rich, owning her own hotels and private planes. It looks like this battle will be a 4-way :)
