![]() This has a "not historically accurate in terms of attitudes towards homosexuality" warning, but the outpouring of support towards the couple is overwhelming and awkward and completely over-the-top. The writing has some great moments in regards to dialogue, but often skews to the very purple side of the scale with the lovers having frequent and oddly-timed sex breaks. There's a cartoon-ish, mustache-twirling villain, whose schemes are unrealistic and implausible. The plot was all over the place and throws in some pirates for no obvious reason and a strange trip to France. Six years ago, the Mischief Theater Company arrived on Broadway from Britain with The Play That Goes Wrong, a madcap comedy about a hapless amateur. Actually, all the secondary characters were great-it was the main characters I wasn't too fussed about, with their inconsistent and superficial characterisation and their throbbing members. I think the three dandies, who are funny secondary characters, were my favourite part of this book. Some Like It Hot (1959) Passed 121 min Comedy, Music, Romance 8. ![]() It sounds like it will be a light romance, but it starts off with a really sad murder and solving the murder is everyone's main focus (except for the lovers, who have sex all the time when they aren't making goo-goo eyes at each other). It has its moments, but ultimately left me unsatisfied. It's like the author couldn't decide what kind of book this was-tense murder mystery, super sappy bodice-ripper romance, madcap comedy caper, action-adventure story, gay erotica, or legal drama, and went with all of the above with very mixed results. The surfing teens led by Frankie and Dee Dee dont have much sex but they sing, battle the motorcycle rats and mice led by Eric Von Zipper and dance to Dick Dale and the Del Tones. It's all over the place with little holding it together and some of it was very hard to swallow. AugAnthropology Professor Robert Orwell Sutwell and his secretary Marianne are studying the sex habits of teenagers. So, on one level, this is very cool and totally the sort of thing I would go for, but the execution was so uneven, as was the writing and the tone. This book kind of has a bit of everything-instalove, instalust, disguises, murder, kidnapping, disputed inheritances, lookalike siblings, a sham marriage, pirates, runaway lovers, scheming underlings, cross-dressing, princes, sword fights, duels, a chase to France, wise-cracking sidekicks, amazing coincidences, a Snidely-Whiplash-style villain, and more! It's like bits of every Shakespeare comedy plot mixed together, and there are so, so many classic romance tropes here. There were some good things in it, but I was skimming by the end.
