The Worst Film Ever

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Well it's a 2 or a 10 depending on how and where you see it. Personally I would advise every gay movie night schedule include this gasp worthy drivel for girls to howl and throw things at the screen. YUM YUM TREE is possibly the most inane insulting sexist farce this side of CARRY ON AGAIN DOCTOR which makes the viewer crippled with lockjaw horror. If you are an infantile dimwit swinging bachelor who fantasizes about trapping women in the apartment he has rented to them... well very SAW and HOSTEL, now-day, this 1963 so called sex comedy is as much fun as a wet towel. And a towel from the dog bed not the bedroom. Jack Lemmon is strident and he must have been so embarrassed in later years for making this. Imogen Coca is wasted in a lame role as sadly she always was. This is a terrible film. Insulting. The TV music with the tiddly xylophone music to signal 'comedy scene' is groan-worthy. Stupid eye rolling dialog and bimbo characters make this ideal for bad movie night especially for Lesbians who will choke on the sexism of the whole concept and execution. The ONE good thing is his red car (!) in which they go on a picnic....

I really like Jack Lemmon, he has appeared in so many great movies during his career, but, what the heck induced him to do this total stinker of a movie.I watched this movie in growing disbelief at what is a teenage boy's fantasy of being a rich man doing nothing worthwhile with his life owning a apartment block full of gorgeous young women wearing next to nothing and having free rein to do what he likes because he is their landlord.What possessed Jack Lemmon to take on the role of a disgusting lecherous, moral free man who is planning to seduce (rape more like) a young virgin who lives in his apartment block. The story is so full of plot holes, why didn't anyone one report him to the police? Beats me! Anyway, I failed to make it to the end as when I heard Irene's speech about the man and the woman's role in a marriage I nearly choked on my cup of tea, only a man with a superiority complex over women could have written that baloney.Completely humour free and a waste of two hours of my life. I think I'd better watch Some Like It Hot or The Odd Couple again to erase Lemmmon's Hogan out of my conscience.

Jack Lennon (as Hogan) is a promiscuous landlord who loves to rent apartments to hot prospects, like young Carol Lynley (as Robin); trouble is, she moves her fiancée Dean Jones (as David) in for a platonic "try-out" living arrangement. Mr. Lemmon spends much of the movie lecherously peeping at the young couple, while plotting how to seduce Ms. Lynley.The cast is very nice, but the story is really, really dumb. Mr. Lemmon is a terrific actor, but this role just doesn't work for him; you have to wonder about all of his peeping. This movie might have worked if the Lemmon character were unsuccessfully promiscuous, in a supporting role, and without the peeping (like a Dudley Moore or Don Knotts role). Mr. Jones and Ms. Lynley are very likable, but they want to undress, and tease each other so quickly. The orange cat was a (sex?) joke I didn't get. ** Under the Yum Yum Tree (1963) David Swift ~ Jack Lemmon, Carol Lynley, Dean Jones

This is one of the most unfunny films that I have ever seen! I love Jack Lemmon and he's probably one of the top five actors that has ever lived but what was he thinking when he agreed to do this mess? I know its the sixties but people were not that prudish about a man and a woman living together at that time. And the character that Lemmon portrays is so annoying and lecherous that by the second time he barged into Carol Lynley's apartment they should have called the cops. And what was Dean Jones waiting for? He should have punched Lemmon right in the face for all the crap he was pulling. The one thing that I did enjoy was seeing one of my favorite actress's in another small role. Joy Harmon plays Lynley's friend Ardice and I wish her part was bigger. Also Irene Tsu who along with Joy Harmon was one of many hot chicks who played small roles in the sixties. But the film itself is a badly dated and extremely annoying embarrassment.
