'The Apartment'

This film was 88 times darker than what I thought it would be.

I thought it was a happy go lucky Jack Lemmon flick and Shirley MacLaine was going to act all cute (oh, and she is sooooooo cute) and Fred MacMurray was going to act like he does.

Instead, it was all about loneliness, sex, adultery and suicide. In fact, it's not very funny at all and except for the final scene (in which we assume our heroes hook up ... and play cards) it was an extremely dark and daunting film.

If you're looking for a laugh or something light hearted, pass up "The Apartment." It's still good, however.
