Some Like It Hot is another supersonic, breakneck, belly-laugh comedy that should be a block-busting bonanza at the box office.

The film is an outrageous, hilarious, and amazingly unpretentious trip through a funhouse of sexual identities.

Some Like It Hot was released in 1959 but its effervescence and sparkle are timeless. I guarantee that it will make you laugh out loud.

The pace is fast and the humour -- especially Mr Lemmon's -- is often hilarious. It is pleasant to meet again such old familiars as Mr Raft and Mr Brown; and Miss Monroe, as always, is irresistible.

In terms of comic devices there is very little in the film that is original, but the use of the material is delightful.

Nov 30, 2013A delightful, light hearted comedy. Brilliant comedic turns by Lemmon and Curtis. Marilyn did a good job too, and oh boy! wasn't she a pleasure to look at!Anoop K Super Reviewer

Oct 15, 2013This raucous comedic farce from Billy Wilder is often considered to be one of the best and funniest comedies ever made...and you know what? The reputation isn't wrong. Joe and Jerry are two Chicago jazz musicians who, after witnessing a gangland murder, are forced to go on the run. Obtaining some costumes, they board a train for Florida with an all girl jazz band as its newest and more homely members "Josephine" and 'Daphne". Besides the obvious problems with having to keep up their ruse in general, things really get complicated (and hilarious) when Josephine falls for fellow band member Sugar Kane, and an aging playboy falls for Daphne. Also, the mob happens to find their way to Florida as well... Everyone talks about how funny this film is, and yeah, I expected to laugh, but I also figured this film would be kinda overrated as well. Much to my surprise and delight, this film had me in stitches through almost all of the runtime, and I didn't think it was overrated at all. This really is a sharp, witty, and breezy comedy masterpiece. It set the standard for all future cross dressing related comedies, and has yet to be topped. Tony Curtis is great as Joe/Josephine and Jack Lemmon is tremendously awesome as Jerry/Daphne. George Raft is fun as the mob boss who wants them dead, and Marilyn Monroe is a delightful knockout as Sugar Kane. As the man who falls for Daphne, Joe E. Brown is an absolute scream. The film does go for some obvious targets with some of the jokes, but they are deftly handled, and feel quite relevant and fresh. Yeah, there is the obvious need for suspension of disbelief, but that only adds to the fun. With a strong start that just keeps building and building, this truly is one of the all-time greats that you really must see if you haven't already done so.Chris W Super Reviewer

Apr 22, 2013The drivers for this film are Curtis and Lemmon for sure. Monroe does her bit but gets away with mostly being decoration. The final sequence alone makes this a brilliant film.John B Super Reviewer

Nov 25, 2012Another fine selection from Billy Wilder's impressive filmography, "Some Like It Hot" is a comedy that owes much of its hilarity to the performances of Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and the timelessly beautiful Marilyn Monroe. Surprisingly, it hasn't lost much of its comedic touch and still manages to provide a lot of laughs, which is something that most classic comedies can't seem to always do.Stephen E Super Reviewer
