  • OK at best - kinda misleading

    I say it is misleading, as I bought because of Robert Downey Jr in the credits. Luckily it was a sale, and did not cost much. Downey is an uncredited extra on the soccer team at the end of the movie... I think I laughed once the whole movie..
  • Biased, but still a funny movie....

    In the interest of full disclosure, I have family on the soundtrack (full disclosure, bragging for the little guys, whatever) but this is still a funny movie. Themes that stand up today and aren't as dated as other movies, actors that are in the earliest stages of their careers working 10 times as hard to make a name, all in all, a good movie for people interested in the history of comedy or just laughing.

    Man, this movie was the best. i first heard of it on wikipedia and i wanted to see it badly! then i bought the movie on my ipod and i recently bought the vinyl soundtrack off of ebay. when it came out, it was a box office bomb. it was so poorly recieved, MAD cut out all their references in the home video. but in 2006 they reinstated it in. this movie rocks
