Warning: laughing at this movie could get you slapped

Rating: 1/10 (28 June 2004)

I should know I've sunk several relationships simply by saying I found this movie to be funny. I've gotten assaulted by women who've insisted that if I watched this movie with them I wouldn't find it funny.
This is a great achievement in all areas of film making, except one, that one is the acting. Never in my life have I witnessed so many good actors and actresses going so far into parody that I'm convulsed with laughter every time I watch their work. If you think I'm joking about how bad the acting is, please tell me one other movie that when spoofed or joked about simply requires the lines from the film to be rendered as in the film to be fall down funny?
None.
Only Clark Gable gives anything approaching a real performance. If you don't believe me then try behaving as people do in this film and see if you're not viewed as if you've gotten a second head.
Of course this film is a classic and I'm in the minority so you probably shouldn't take my word on it.
