Have You Seen Junior’s Grades?

As stated before, I friggin love hulu.com. Aside from having a crapload of current and older TV shows, they have added full length movies. Sure, most of them are pretty crappy, but to my delight I saw that they uploaded the Tony Curtis/Jack Lemmon/Marilyn Monroe classic comedy Some Like It Hot.

I admit to not being a huge movie snob and unlike a few of the aforementioned I don’t think that “they don’t make ‘em like they used to” when it comes to comedies. Having said that, they really don’t make comedies like Some Like It Hot these days. In an age of gross out comedies and all of those horrible spoof movies (Date Movie, Scary Movie, Epic Movie) this one is pure comedic gold. Comedy that is actually funny and not stupid humor. I don’t know, maybe I am just getting old and jaded but holy crap I was rolling around the floor laughing at this one.

I had totally forgotten how great this movie was. The first time I saw it was in drama class in high school. No, I wasn’t a drama dork, I just heard that there were always pretty girls in drama. Come to think of it I have to thank my teacher from that year. She was responsible for two of the very few things I really remember taking away from high school that I keep with me to this day. One was how to juggle, the other being a fan of Some Like It Hot.
