i think each main character is played so excellently and charismatic, i love it so much. we need more movies where for a majority of the runtime, the main male leads dress up as woman.
also the movie is just really funny and has a simple but effective story.

Two musicians witness a mob hit and struggle to find a way out of the city before they are found by the gangsters. Their only opportunity is to join an all-girl band as they leave on a tour. To make their getaway they must first disguise themselves as women, then keep their identities secret and deal with the problems this brings - such as an attractive bandmate and a very determined suitor.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A high-spirited romp where two musicians on the run from the mob discover that the perfect disguise is hiding in plain sight, and that keeping up the charade proves far more complicated and hilarious than they bargained for. Pure screwball energy powered by impeccable timing and infectious chemistry.
