The Greatest Masterpiece of All Time

Rating: Null/10 (16 June 2000)

The thing that makes this movie the best is the premise: men trying to imitate women! Need I say more? I am laughing so hard at this original concept I can barely type! In scene after scene, joke after joke, over and over for nearly the entire film the punch line revolves around the fact that these two men are trying to pass themselves off as women. Imagine the hilarity of the situation! Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon are wonderful, and if you aren't paying attention, you can barely notice the contrived-sounding laughter they always emit after they deliver a punch line. Marilyn Monroe portrays a developmentally disabled woman, and everyone knows how sexually appealing mentally handicapped women are! And her physical beauty shines even through the heavy layers of makeup she was forced to wear. Some people have called the dialogue inane, but the dialogue is irrelevant because you'll bust up laughing as you watch the wacky antics of Jack and Tony-in dresses and makeup! I'll bet you're shaking with laughter just imagining it! When you watch the film, your eyes will be filled with tears of laughter. Well, some kind of tears, anyway...
