I love this movie so much

ridiculous rating

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The best movie I've ever seen. The acting is great and I never get bored by the comedy... So much fun!!!

I'd heard some vague references to this movie back before I watched it and even heard the final line uttered in a certain 1996 alien invasion film. I'm not big on black-and-white films that are pre-1980s but this is one of the exceptions. If it wasn't for transvestites, we probably wouldn't have movies like this one or even Mrs. Doubtfire, or even the Monty Python TV show. If you wanted to see an older precursor to Mrs. Doubtfire, put this on your to-do list!

Some like it boring. But not me. This is a very boring movie. With a very boring story line. It is not funny at all. I do not knew people like it. How boring does a comedy have to be before people do not like it.

There are four Oscar worthy performances in this Billy Wilder comedy classic. Marilyn, Jack, Tony and Joe all shine in the beaches of Florida where sweet Sue and her band, featuring luscious Miss Monroe and two real dogs perform in an all female band. The problem is that the dogs aren't real women: they're musicians hiding from the mob, having witnessed a St. Valentine's Day massacre style hit. Mob head George Raft wants them dead, so what's the best way to hide? Dress up as a woman of course!Drag goes back to the silent era in cinema, so the concept is far from new, but the writing, directing, black and white photography all come together with excellent editing that perfects the timing of all the gags. Joe E. Brown, who had done his share of drag in film, takes a shine to jack Lemmon here, getting some great moments and the tag line that has become a classic, much like Marie Dressler's final quip in "Dinner at Eight".It is considered an Oscar sin that Marilyn Monroe did not get a nomination for this part. "Jello on springs!", Jack Lemon comments, but it's the Cary Grant like portrayal of Tony Curtis the gets her attention, making her think that he owns the huge yacht that really belongs to Brown.So many great moments, from Monroe's two big songs to Lemmon and Brown's tango. It later became a hit Broadway musical (practically forgotten today), but nothing can diminish the perfection of this film, one for the ages. Without it, I doubt we'd have " Victor/Victoria", "La Cage Aux Folles" or "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert".
