An average movie

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a decent cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, even if it was rather harmless, to be honest, I had a rather hard time to care about the damned thing though. Indeed, even if it was to be expected, the story turned out to be so fluffy and hardly entertaining. I mean, what was supposed to be fun about a bunch of young women chasing some guys just because they are rich? I’m sorry but it didn’t sound really inspiring to me and there is no way they would make a movie nowadays with such a storyline. If they would have gone for something darker and cynical, it could have been interesting but there was no way their approach would really work for me, I’m afraid. At least, there is no doubt that the three main actresses were quite charismatic and entertaining. Concerning Marilyn Monroe, it was the 8^th movie I saw with her but, even though I have to admit that she was indeed quite gorgeous, I still don’t think she was such a great actress, even if she was quite fun here. Concerning Betty Grable, she was apparently really famous at the time but it was actually the first movie I saw with her so it was pretty cool to discover this actress. Concerning Lauren Bacall, she was probably the best of the bunch but the whole gimmick of having her character falling in love with a rich guy while thinking he was just a ‘gas pump jockey’ which was just so predictable and rather lame. Anyway, to conclude, even if it didn’t really dazzle me, I have to admit that it was still a decent watch though and it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
