We learn it's funny when someone falls down or gets seriously hurt

Rating: 9/10 (24 July 2006)

This is a very fun movie from John Hughs (Breakfast Club, Maid in Manhattan). It's a bit like a cartoon tho in that what we learn from watching it, is that, it's funny when someone falls down or gets seriously hurt.
This is a great movie especially when judged by the number of laughs it earns. Can it be 16 years ago that this movie came out? I dare say this is a Christmas Classic. A Christmas Classic that could be enjoyed any time of year. I believe in the world of literature, what? 50 years must go by before a Novel can be judged a Classic? How long is the wait for a movie?
