My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

How to Marriy a Millionaire (1953)

Lauren Becall, Betty Gable and Marilyn Monroe star as three friends in search for love with lots of zeroes after it.  I didn't expect to enjoy this '50s comedy but it's actually a lot of fun if you ignore the whole gotta-need-a-man and my-man's-gotta-be-able-to-take-care-of-me crap.  Lauren Becall shows she's got comic timing and Marilyn Monroe continues with her dumb blonde routine in style.  Yes, it's predictable and cheesy but all in good fun.  Grade: B+
