   This infamous flop screwball comedy is gut-bustingly great for the first half, but quickly becomes a quagmire of plot points that aren't well explained by the action, nor the characters after that. With a little thought, the premise of the story's development is funny enough, but the muddled way it moves forward is so foreign to what comes before it, that it loses all energy and all audience attention.
   
   Still, Hoffman and Beatty are brilliant together and the songs are hilarious.

   This movie is hilarious! Totally underrated! It is probably a precursor to something like Zoolander. 8 years 2 months ago
