Timeless Comedy

Rating: 10/10 (3 April 2020)

This is one of those films I wasn't a huge fan of on release. It was a massive success and the hype was everywhere. This is one of the films that built Ben Stiller's career in mainstream Hollywood. This film built a series of inferior sequels and endless copycats. This film is hilarious and highly quotable. It's weird and with each story beat, it grows more and more uncomfortable. This is a strong film and should appeal to the entire family. I think I had too much hype on release, but it grew on me over time and the filmmakers were clever with concept. A must-see.
