A goofy, sublimely stupid masterpiece(Minor Spoiler Alert)...

Rating: 10/10 (30 September 2002)

Here's a movie cheerfully dumb enough to have this exchange of dialogue: Nick Rivers: I'm sorry, I don't speak German.
Hillary Flammond: That's all right, I know a little German. He's sitting right over there.(cut to shot of midget waving to camera).
It's also smart enough to have an entire scene based on the premise that English, when played backward, sounds like Swedish(don't even ask).
It somehow manages to spoof Frankie and Annette, Elvis movies, "The Great Escape," "The Dirty Dozen," Westerns, "Casablanca," spy movies,"The Blue Lagoon," and even "The Wizard of Oz." I have no idea how this movie was conceived, or what studio executive greenlighted this, but God bless everyone involved with this movie, because it is a sublime idiocy, and one of my all-time favorite comedies. If you loved "Airplane!" and "The Naked Gun," and you've never seen this, you missed the best of the bunch.
