It's a delayed reaction, or maybe an acquired taste....
This movie was fairly roundly criticized when it was released, and as usual, the professional 'critics' found almost no redeeming qualities to the many times juvenile humor this movie was based around.I, personally, am not a fan of these 'pros' as they tend to look for artsy films, and fawn all over things like "Driving Miss Daisy" (a slow movie if I ever saw one) or "Gosford Park" (almost as slow) while trashing or ignoring entertainment for the masses such as the latest Star Wars, or action adventure type stuff like Indiana Jones.Having said that, the critics perhaps have a point about this movie, but I think it maybe because they didn't give the movie a little while to set in.Some of the humor is just slapstick and juvenile, but as you watch it more than once, it starts to become funnier, and easier to laugh at.I've seen this movie a few times now, since it's shown up on the pay movie channels, and find myself snickering at it more and more, and downright laughing at a few spots.It is a movie that requires you to suspend disbelief in several places, but it's also humorous and entertaining.I wouldn't say it's something I'd pay a lot of money to see, but it's not the worst film ever made either.If you want escapist entertainment, or a guilty pleasure type movie, pick this one up, pop it in the DVD player and enjoy.
