I am 30 mins into watching this movie. How is this a comedy? Billie isn't funny at ALL, I feel sorry for her. She comes off as a meek, melancholy, abused woman.
sharej_hughes2000, i'm in complete agreement with you. it's a shame that people on this board are so quick to go for the jugular just because someone has a different opinion.
shareWell.....we watched it last night, I'm trying to see all the Academy Award winning performances before I die - and I confess, I loved it. Judy Holliday was absolutely fantastic, and that was not an easy character to portray.
However to be fair to the OP - while my MOM and I sat there loving ever minute of it, my DAD walked out of the room about 20 minutes into the film, declared it "Boring" and then went to the den to play his guitar!
So like all movies I guess....not for every taste!

Not everyone's going to like everything and that's fine. Comedies are especially tricky because there are many different types. Topics can also present a problem. Comedies often address serious subjects; subjects some people may consider 'no laughing matter.'
