You can't buy love

Or can you? Well no pun intended either way. And it seems that Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine seem to be quite the power couple ... at least on screen. After watching the Appartment this is the next one where they both star in. And again they are an obvious couple - their chemistry is off the hook... well you could add to letters to that word and describe the "job" Shirley has in this one. But I am going to cop ... out and not spell it (ah the puns almost write themselves).

I understand if some have issues with the second half of the movie. It seems to lose a bit of its steem of its own drive. Yet both stars and the other players never let their foot of the gas/pedal ... they play it great til the end - including the dialog (tight script) ... but that is a different story ... actually the "different stories" would make a great movie themselves! That one character who seems to have seen everything ... and then some. We may be able to see where this is going (quite predictable) ... but the journey is still fun to be a part of.
