About

You’ll likely enjoy this classic, fast-moving comedy if you want cheeky disguise-based trouble and lots of laughs, but Not for you if slapstick feels forced or you dislike dated humor; consider The Apartment or Singin' in the Rain instead.

Pros: timeless comedy; strong performances; witty dialogue | Cons: humor may feel dated; some find it dull
