Hapless corporate drone Jack Lemmon tries to make his own luck by offering his apartment to various higher-ups for their amorous encounters. Laughing already?

It’s not a comedy.

This Best Picture-winning film mostly struck me as dated. I say that because it is sort of billed as a comedy, but I found basically nothing comedic about it at all, save for some mild slapstick. Jack Lemmon does a fine job, as one might expect, but I didn’t really connect with any of the characters emotionally or find them particularly likable. So, Watchable.
