Count me among those serious movie-lovers who find Some Like It Hot (movie) to be overrated.
I think a lot of the comedies given high ranking status are. Tootsie is another, that and SLIH always end up in the top 10, usually at #1 and #2 "best comedy ever made", but I find it overrated. A very good movie, in the comedy category, but one I find more amusing than funny. And not all that exceptional as a movie when put against so many others. And then there's something like Sullivan's Travels which doesn't get nearly enough recognition as one of the great comedy films. |
