"I can get 80 miles a gallon on this hawk"

Rating: 9/10 (17 March 2003)

Or was it "hog?" In any case, I had a great time watching this movie. I saw it with my Dad and my brother, and I laughed so hard I felt like I was going to choke. We all did. You know, I wonder whether a sense of humor can be correlated to individual courage. There are people who don't find this movie, or lots of funny stuff, funny. I wonder if they are living and acting and having a personal style that they don't really like, just to conform or please someone else. I wonder if that sort of self-prison keeps them from finding much of anything spontaneously funny. There was a pony-tailed pseudo-intellectual type sitting behind us in the theater. I heard him in the parking lot afterward, telling his friends that he just didn't see what was so funny or how anybody could laugh at Dumb and Dumber. Well, I laughed because the stuff was funny, and I wasn't busy trying to act or dress or sit some way that I thought someone wanted me to act or dress or sit. Doing things my way allows me to laugh at a lot of things (and not laugh at a lot of things). Maybe I won't have a heart attack, either, or miss great moments in life everyday. I guess I won't be able to impress guys with pony tails and no sense of humor, but I can handle that.
