Ridiculous plot, but very enjoyable nonetheless. <em>'Some Like It Hot'</em> is good, unserious fun. Tony Curtis (Joe) and Jack Lemmon (Jerry) are the stars of the show, with amusing performances from start-to-finish.

I really don't get the comedy here. Curtis and Lemmon dress up as showgirls to avoid the mob. That's good for a five minute sketch, but not a full length movie. And that's the problem. It is stretched out to be an ordeal. For some reason, some guy likes Lemmon as a woman, and Lemmon avoids him. And for some reason, Curtis likes a relatively plain showgirl (Marilyn Monroe was always a "woman's woman", not in the league with the beauties of Hollywood, which was her appeal, being the "girl next door" instead of "the girl you wanted next door" Dawn Welles or Raquel Welch. But who is lucky enou…
