Most overrated comedy of all time

Rating: 5/10 (17 July 2000)

I'm not saying it doesnt have its moments, but why all of a sudden is poor taste "cool" and "in" ? When "History of the World Part I" came out almost 20 yrs ago, everyone ripped it for being in bad taste, when actually it is hysterical and blows "Mary" out of the water. Ben Stiller is very talented but its ironic that "Flirting With Disaster" and his short lived Fox TV show didnt get much notice and are far superior to this. This is the Movie equivalent to the TV show "Friends" in that its cool to say you like it. Women who bash the 3 Stooges for being too slapstick, well, how is this movie any different?THe Farrely Brothers have done better movies too. I did like the Jonathan Richman music interludes though.
