4.5/5
"Everyone and everything about the film is mostly perfect, and what the movie ultimately says about the nature of love is still prescient."
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
4.5/5
"A parlor drama with witty, Oscar Wilde-like banter and glib repartee"
All Movie Guide
Dan Jardine
B+
"A very funny film."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
5/5
"You could...fill a book with all the magical things that make this witty, swift, and wistful romantic comedy so impossibly good. Hollywood doesn't make romantic comedies like this anymore."
Netflix
James Rocchi
4/4
"Is
The Philadelphia Story
about cutting Katharine Hepburn down to size?"
Slant Magazine
Jeremiah Kipp
3/4
"More of an oddball comedy than a screwball comedy,
The Philadelphia Story's
gender politics haven't aged exceptionally well even if its laughs have done okay."
MovieMartyr.com
Jeremy Heilman
A
"Its witty dialogue, romantic complications, and class-skewering satire are hallmarks of screwball comedy, but it's a more mature and humanistic social satire, a comedy of manners skewering every kind of snobbery."
