Make up your own mind, okay?

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 2011)

One of the funniest movies of all time. A gigantic screwball comedy that just keeps getting zanier and more outrageous as it goes--just when you think the comic invention is all used up, something else springs out of left field and surprises you. Don't listen to the snobby "academic" critics--Pauline Kael, the greatest (and, for my money, the only) movie critic of all time gave this movie the praise it deserved. If the Marx Brothers had made a comedy about World War II, this would be it. Some of the performers--John Belushi, Treat Williams, and Wendie Jo Sperber, in particular--have never been better, and the USO chase sequence is GENIUS choreography. What's not to like?
