Overrated and not very funny comedy

Rating: 5/10 (28 July 2002)

This movie has appeared on television countless times but I was never able to sit through it until recently. I still don't find this movie very funny. Neither Curtis nor Lemon look like a woman. Neither has the build of a woman. They are both too broad and look took masculine so how they can fool everyone for almost the entire picture is beyond my comprehension.
One of the genuinely funny scenes was toward the end when Spats got his comeuppance at his surprise early birthday bash.
I found Marilyn Monroe's performance quite good. She may be the only actress who looks as beautiful in black and white as in color. I imagine it may have something to do with her platinum blonde hair.
