3.0 out of 5 stars Under the yum yum tree, September 26, 2000

Jack Lemmon is Mr. Hogan, a swinging bachelor who has got the perfect set up. He is landlord to an apartment complex that occupies women and only women. It seems Mr. Hogan has had a lot of luck dating his tenants; after all, it's hard to resist his charm and womanizing ways. That is, until the faithful Robin moves in. Robin, played by Carol Linley, is engaged to be married. Now this doesn't appear to be a problem until she tells Mr. Hogan that her boyfriend, David, will be moving in with her(Did they do this sort of thing in 1963?). Now this poses a problem! How is Mr. Hogan going to romance Robin when her boyfriend is constantly getting in the way? And so the love triangle begins... Mr. Hogan, trying to get in good with Robin, while trying to keep fiancé David out. Sounds predictable, right? Well it may be but there are a few surprises that will make you laugh so hard you might even shed a few tears. Anyone who has ever seen a Jack Lemmon movie knows that he can be a riot on the screen. I've seen this one a couple of times and laughed out loud each time. As a matter of fact, last time I watched it with Quon I had to convince him that the all-woman apartment complex wouldn't fly these days. Poor guy. . . almost spent a large sum of his inheritance on an old run-down apartment building.

5.0 out of 5 stars College Days in California's 1960s, May 22, 2005

This movie takes me back to the college days of the 1960s in Southern California area...although I believe it was set a bit north of Los Angeles in the San Luis Obispo vicinity. The architecture, surrounding trees, and clothing are very authentic of that time period. It was very typical to see younger women working through their relationships just as the main heroine Robin did with her boyfriend David. The landlord Hogan, played by the talented Jack Lemmon, could be plausible for that period also. It is a relaxing, charming, movie that gives me back a bit of my youth in small town college life. Paul Lynde and Imogene Coca are the icing on the cake of this funny romance comedy. Ah, the innocence of that time....pure and simple delight and fun!!! AND it was very true of that innocence.
