Still laughing in 2000

Rating: Null/10 (17 May 2000)

I recently had an opportunity in my film studies class to view this film, and I didn't stop laughing. For being 41 years old, the film contained some seriously perverse comments and even shots. When Jack Lemmon is dressed like a woman, a guy hits on him in the elevator. The floor indication arrow rise to a full, "erection" and then falls when Lemmon smacks the guy for, well, I'm sure you can figure it out. This picture could have been made today and still would have drawn huge crowds. The humor was absolutely hilarious. The sound in the film was wonderful, including some hot swing numbers by the all girl band that Lemmon and Curtis are playing in. Overall, there isn't one thing that I could find to complain about. The performances by all of the actors were great. Of course you can't go wrong with Marilyn Monroe. "Some Like It Hot," and Monroe was the definition of "hot." This was a great romantic comedy filled dialog that should belong in some of todays films like "There's Something About Mary." If you're looking for a great laugh, please check out "Some Like It Hot." You won't be able to stop laughing.
