A hilarious flick.

Rating: Null/10 (16 April 2004)

Some like it hot is a great comedy. It seemed to be a bit racy for being made in the late 50's, but maybe that's why it is so popular. The humor in this movie is clever and witty. Minus the wardrobe, the music and the look of the cars, it seems like it would be a movie made today, mainly because of the timeless humor.

The story line is also very good. The viewer is hooked from the beginning and is on the edge of their seat until the very end. Joe is the undeniable ladies man that plays the sax and Jerry is the paranoid bass player. They take the ride of their lives to save their lives from the mob. They put themselves in a situation that not too many men would be upset about. But jealousy, lies and the fact that they are men gets in the way, causing much humor.

The acting in this movie is the best thing about it. Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon have a great chemistry and are very believable as best friends. Then throw Marilyn Monroe in the mix and you've got a great group of actors with great chemistry. All of the main characters acted with such ease and the parts just seemed to come so naturally to them.
