Hilarious

Rating: 10/10 (21 June 2014)

Billy Wilder's Some Like It Hot is a movie that is 10 times funnier than all the Jim Carrey movies combined thanks to Wilder's comedic genius. It is Jack Lemmon who gives the funniest performance through out the entire movie which has a sort of Tootsie and Mrs. Doubtfire like story but it is a lot different. This movie is about 2 musicians who end up witnessing the St. Valentine's Day massacre end up dressing up as women and leaving Chicago in order to go with an all female band to perform music, while on the way the 2 so called "women" end up meeting a girl named Sugar Cane (played by Marilyn Monroe). The 2 musicians that are dressed up as women are played by Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis in their best performances since I don't know when. Writers Billy Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond have created intelligent lines for a perfect comedy like this one as well as being one of the best movies of 1959.
