definitely NOT a family film

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2006)

I remember seeing this film on TV as a child and only noticing the funny parts of it, but I would not recommend it as a modern family movie for the sexual innuendo and double entendres. BUT that being said, it is the funniest movie I have ever seen. Jack Lemmon in the Tango scene, after Joe E Brown has given him the bracelet is priceless! This is the movie where I realized what an absolute genius Jack Lemmon was. He was sooooo good. I had a friend who I got a DVD player for as a gift and what movie did I get her? Some Like it Hot! She came to work the next day screaming that it was the funniest movie ever. She said she watched it 5 times in one day, she couldn't believe how funny it is. In comparison with todays very un-funny comedies-where anything goes-it is at once outrageous AND demure, and that makes it a jewel. I am extremely happy there has never been a remake of it and there never can be because there is no need. It's perfect the way it is.
