explosive laughter

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2009)

i feel bad about how much i enjoyed this film. true, it takes the delicate subject of nuclear warfare and the destruction of the surface world, but i found it completely hilarious. when ripper thinks that the communists are disguised as US soldiers and tells mandrake "in the name of Her Majesty and the Continental Congress, come here and feed me this belt, boy, the Red Coats are coming" i think i popped a blood vessel trying to stop myself from bursting in laughter in the middle of my class. also when the president urges "gentlemen! please don't fight! this is the war room!" the movie ended beautifully as well as comically. i could only have loved it more if it actually HAD ended in a pie fight.
