like nitro and glycerin...

Rating: Null/10 (26 May 2004)

Where would this world be without men dressing up like women? After witnessing a mob hit, down-and-out musicians Joe (Tony Curtis) and Jerry (Jack Lemmon) do just that in order to escape from being the mob's next victims. Having seen the storyline in previous movies, Some Like it Hot is still one hilarious movie.
Dubbed `the best comedy of the year' when it was first released, the years since haven't taken away any of the wacky and clever humor that Some Like it Hot contains. There is nothing wrong with this movie from what this reviewer could see. The type of humorous antics pulled off, like men in dresses and a budding romance between a millionaire and Lemmon will keep a viewer rolling in their seats for the duration on the film.
Lets talk about chemistry for a moment. Not the kind you kind in the science room, but the kind between two people. Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon had great chemistry together, they were like nitro and glycerin, together they were explosive! They were what made the movie, sure, Marilyn Monroe did a great job with the `dumb blond' role, but it was the men in drag that kept the moving going.
Again, this was a great movie. Great actors and a humorous storyline come together to make Some Like it Hot a treat for the whole family. Definitely living up to `the best comedy of the year' comment it received so many years ago. Some Like it Hot is timeless humor and for that, it receives 10 out of 10 stars
