A much over-rated film!

Rating: Null/10 (19 August 2011)

I am sorry but I simply cannot join in the acclaim that this film has been accorded. It's by no means a bad film, but there are those who have pronounced it as the funniest film ever made, which I find quite ridiculous in the face of films like 'The Ladykillers' (Alec Guiness version of course). This film relies on it's comedy from one of the oldest gags in the book, namely two blokes dressing up as women. Granted they do a good job of it, but there is nothing original here. Marilyn Monroe is a pain, and Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis have had better starring roles. I have persevered over a period of time trying to like this film, but in the end I had to be true to myself so I passed my video on to someone else who would far better appreciate it.
