A masterpiece of modern comedy.

Rating: 10/10 (11 April 1999)

I'll say right up front that this is one of my favourite comedies of all time. What's not to like? The heroes are cheerfully good-natured and amusingly idiotic, and the plot has enough clever historical references and parodies to make it enjoyable for those whose cognitive functions are more fully developed than those of the movie's eponymous dork-heroes. The jokes are funny and the characters are lovable.
All in all, an enjoyable comic romp that remains light-hearted and funny right up until the end.
