no dead spots in it

Rating: Null/10 (25 April 2001)

This is one of two comedies--Some Like It Hot being the
other--which I can watch time and again, know when the jokes are
coming and still laugh hysterically at them. I don't keep track of
such things but this probably has more quotable quotes than any
other movie except maybe Casablanca. Just other night, It came
on TV late. I said I'll watch 5 minutes of it; I saw the whole thing.
There are no dead spots in it. It's what sitcoms aspire to--a joke
every 30 seconds--except that the jokes here are hysterical. They
all pay off. The characters--and the actors--are so much fun to
watch. They are lovable without being sympathetic. Now that it's a
hit musical, they should re-release it. It must have been a week
since I saw it last.
