Review

riffs on ‘some like it hot’ in that it finds two men who are fleeing from the law by going undercover – this time as gay designers, instead of cross dressing singers (or whatever they were in some like it hot). zahn’s performance is the only thing that’s really worthy of notation here. once again he plays a sidekick more than a dominate screen presence. ostensibly the film is about zahn and the other guy, but zahn seems to get less screen time and a less important/weighty role. zahn is one of the underrated comic talents around these days, hopefully he gets a breakout role sometime. who knows, maybe sahara was it.
