Some Like It Hot.


I have a question for all of you. does anyone remember when this
was considered sexy? I don't because I'm twenty four years old and this was a had a century ago but regardless when did this fall out of favor? maybe i'm getting off track this is "Some like it Hot.

Set in the 1920's, Some Like it Hot follows the lives of Joe and Jerry, two Jazz musicians who became witnesses to a mob hit and are now on the run. alone the way the two find out about an all woman jazz band bound for Florida, so of course they decide to dress up like women and tag along. Joe who is well known as a womanizer falls in love with the bands singer, Sugar. While Jerry is being stalked by a dirty millionaire. through a series of whacky  miss adventures the two ultimately must come face to face with the very thing they were running from. can they make it out alive?


i'm always skeptical when seeing a classic comedy for the first time because i'm fearful that modern humor won't allow me to understand and appreciate the old fashioned jokes and comedy. But with this one i found myself laughing more and more than i would at most comedies of today's standards. theres this rich chemistry between the characters. the two leads  develop some great bro banter in a pre bro era. Marylin in all her glory delivers a wonderful female lead role. hell even the side characters bring some unique  brands of humor to this movie. i suppose it's sup rising to see a movie about two guys dressing up as women in order to coneil themselves from a dangerous threat be successful considering… well…


yeah that's not a joke i swear to god White Chicks ripped off this film to the T. i think the cross dressing story is just something that can be hit and miss because you really have to have actors comfortable enough to play the role uncomfortably. but hey that's where this movie hits the mark spot on. you just love seeing these guys squirm with the fact that guys are all over them and that they now can't live the play boy life style sthey desired;

ohhh Marilyn. considere dby many today to be the ultimate sex symbol. Marilyn Monroe was an actress who was able to bring a level of beauty as well as talent to her craft. not to mention some of greatest instances of wisdom uttered by an individual. no seriously go check out some of her quotes they are by far the most profound things you'll read.  despite the controversy surrounding her real life. What she brought tho her work was hypnotic and endearing. 


And that's " Some Like it Hot" it's definitely one of the great slap stick movies. something worth taking a look at check it out. I liked it i hope you will.
