Nearly as Much Fun to Watch as I'm Sure It Was to Make

Rating: 10/10 (8 August 2011)

I threw this on so my wife and I would have something familiar to listen to while we assembled a new set of IKEA furniture, but instead we wound up squatting on the floor, transfixed for the duration. The special effects really haven't aged well and the plot's quite corny, but the jokes are so good and the actors so timeless in their roles that the inherent negatives only add to the movie's charm. It's one of those films I quote every single day without even thinking about where the lines are coming from. When I've committed almost every single bit of dialog to memory and still roar with laughter when the most familiar words hit the screen, that's the sign of a real keeper.
