Review:
If we cut out half an hour of the endless amount of dead space in this film, it would be almost 4 stars. It's just too long. For two hours, we do get some decent performances and a story that is in no way unique, but at least presented well, but it's just full of stuff we don't need. There were a handful of pretty funny scenes and some of the jokes and set ups were clever, but nowhere near enough to keep me interested for two hours. The absolute worst part is the ending, which isn't as much of an ending as the point at which the movie stops. It doesn't end with a period, but more like a semicolon. Some Like It Hot doesn't really hold up almost 80 years later, but it isn't a total mess. The performances are still pretty okay, it's still kind of funny, and the story isn't as full of cliches as it would be if they remade it today.
