MCT:August 26, 2008This movie cracked my dad up. The funniest scene is Max snaps off a peice of Prof. Fates frozen moustache. I still like watching this one.

Just like in the cartoons...
Everyone was in character and it was hard to miss Jack Lemmon's comedic genius. A non-stop laughing experience. Everything I expected from a Jack Lemmon/Tony Curtis film. -
MCT:August 1, 2008Rib splitting comedy with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon in the lead roles with Lemmon and sidekick Peter Falk totally stealing the show!

Another major childhood fav. Takes me back to a simpler time... where women wore corsets & men wore moustaches lol.

Fantastic slap-stick - Jack Lemmon is hilarious as the great Professor Fate with Peter Falk as his evil hench-man. Tony Curtis is the super-white hero The great Leslie.....worth watching for the pie-fight alone!
-
MCT:July 14, 2007Jack Lemmon and Peter Falk were obviously the inspiration for Dastardly and Mutley in this fun live action cartoon. I'm not normally a fan of this kind of broad slapstick, but Lemmon is a comic master.

I am almost certain this film was the inspiration for wacky races, including characters very similar to Dick Dasterdly and Penelope Piststop

A light film but luckily heavy on clever gags. Edwards never strays too far from what he's good at and his leads (especially Lemmon) are more than happy to indulge Edwards in creating larger than life cartoon characters.

An awesome comedy with all around excellence. The plot is solid and fun, and the characters are absolutely brilliant. Visually great, no expenses were spared to make this strong classic.
-
MCT:May 1, 2007Very funny movie that will keep you laughing through out the entire movie. A great combination of actors that cannot be duplicated.

I like Jack Lemmon the best of all the actors. Oh, sure Tony Curtis had his moments, but he just doesn't do it for me. [unlike Johnny Depp, who was born with it] It was a good movie all in all. Though I think that Natalie Wood tended to drone on and on about women's right and how everyone was against her because she was a woman. Shut up, so you can kick ass already!

I saw this as a kid, it still is fun for me. Jack Lemon is a true comic star. Old slapstck. Won't fair well with most.

My favourite movie when I was 5, and still rates highly... I feel more movies today should have pie fights in them.

Heehee, now THIS was a goofy movie. It was so cartoon-like; it was pretty fun. Despite Natalie Woods' immodesty and stuff, I remember enjoying watching this movie; I know it's not exactly a classic, but certainly quite entertaining to watch. I liked it.

Lots of laugh in autos for a New York-to-Paris race with marvelous cast. I like the pie throwing fights scene.

Zany, ferocious screwball caper straight from the comedic genius of director and writer Blake Edwards. Divinely funny if not outright silly, this is definitely one to check out, if only for Jack Lemmon as over-the-top villain Professor Fate.
-
MCT:October 23, 2006I remember seeing this at 4 in the morning when i couldn't sleep one day before school. It was well worth staying up for

This is such a great movie!! Tony Curtis was meant for this part. There are so many hilarious scenes in this movie; the giant barfight is probably my fav though.
-

"7:30 in the morning and I feel sea sick!" "Red sky in the morning, sailor take warning" "Brandy, throw more brandy!" "Brandy- Oh what kept you?" "He let me win! He let me win!"

Teehee. Goofified! Nobody makes movies like this anymore (that are GOOD). So over-the-top and yet so funny. All of the key actors did a superb job in their roles. Jack Lemmon, especially, was a hilarious villain, not to mention his second role as the perpetually drunk crown prinec. My family and I didn't laugh out loud throughout the movie, but it did manage to keep us smiling. Quite fun.

This WACKY film really does get you on the floor, rolling about in fits of laughter! It stars Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and child actress Natalie Wood. It really is FANTASTIC!
