Utterly perfect

Rating: Null/10 (30 March 2000)

This is absolutely the most entertaining film ever made. Every line is a masterpiece of comic invention. Every line is as hilarious today as it was sixteen years ago, it's amazing how fresh the film remains. I have probably seen it over a hundred times (don't even ask me exactly how many it is, I have no idea) and I still laugh at every line, every raised eyebrow, every visual gag (particularly the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man). Bill Murray is at his smart-assed best. He is better than even Groucho Marx has ever been, a smug, smooth, hilarious shyster. Dan Aykroyd is a wonderful, naive goofball. Harold Ramis is hilarious. So are Rick Moranis, Sigourney Weaver (a sublime straight woman) and Annie Potts (forever defined by the line "We Got One!" My, how I love this film. Yes, it is a personal thing, but it's MY personal thing. This movie gives me an insane amount of pleasure and I only hope that it has the same effect on everyone else. Simply put: it's magical. ***** out of ***** stars.
