Let's Make Love

Let's Make Love has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in the US on YouTube TV and Hoopla. The runtime earns every minute, with nothing here that feels like padding. Its 6/10 TMDB score, built from 185 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Marilyn Monroe is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on YouTube TV.

Let's Make Love is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. The jokes in Let's Make Love land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. When billionaire Jean-Marc Clement learns that he is to be satirized in an off-Broadway revue, he passes himself off as an actor playing him in order to get closer to the beautiful star of the show, Amanda Dell. Marilyn Monroe and Yves Montand lead a cast with the timing to make it work. Let's Make Love came out in 1960. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Let's Make Love holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Let's Make Love respects your intelligence. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. Short enough to finish in one sitting, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Marilyn Monroe anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.

Let's Make Love was released in 1960, directed by George Cukor. The full 119-minute film is available to watch now.
