Has anyone actually watched this movie?!?!

Rating: 1/10 (31 March 2010)

Stands the test of time, does it? If the movie and its subject matter weren't so utterly tame by today's standards, perhaps this assertion would hold, but as it is, this heap is a relic of the deep dark past. There were two (and only two!) moments wherein I didn't actually laugh, but merely stated: "that was kind of funny..." that's it, I spoke the words, didn't actually laugh! The only thing that stands out about this "greatest comedy of all time" is the fact that Marilyn Monroe is so chunky! Not to condone our societies current body image ideals, but if Marilyn Monroe was even attempting to make it into movies these days, I doubt she would get her foot in the door... yet another counter to the "stands the test of time" statements. Additionally, neither of the two lead actors' performances even hold up to much of their other work... come on, tony Curtis was funnier in Spartacus! And Lemmon, as we know, just aged like a fine wine. At best, this is a really lame rated-G caliber attempted goof-ball romp that should entertain only very young children; but in reality, it is just an incredibly boring old movie that should not have survived past the decade in which it was born.
