Now THIS is a funny movie

Rating: 10/10 (12 August 2002)

Bill Goldman is amazingly funny. He has a rare kind of humor that is both stupid and intelligent. This movie, to some, will have a few funny parts but be just boring for the most part, but to others, namely myself, the very essence of the movie is hilarious. If you didn't like it, you missed something. Some of the funny lines are just dumb which makes them great, but the entire essence is so funny and you have to kindof look for it. Goldman and George Roy Hill have ways of making you need to search. For example, the random music sequences. If you think about it, they're hilarious, but some people just see them as weird. It's remarkably deeper than surface humor. Overall, it's a great great GREAT movie. One of the greatest screenplays ever written, and probably THE greatest comedy screenplay. Paul Newman is just marvelous. He's amazing. He is truly a great actor. By the way, if you loved this, you'd also love the Princess Bride. It's also a Bill Goldman movie.
