User Review

Incredible

Rating: 10/10

For a comedy that got trashed in reviews and rediculed by movie-goers, I
find this movie to be incredibly funny. The first time I saw the movie was
in the theater at which time I laughed at the "obvious" laugh-parts, but
it
was not until I had seen it another two or three times before I picked up
on
the absolutely hysterical dialogue, terriffic comedy styles of the various
supporting characters, and the sheer brilliance and irony the script
presents. If you know anything about history, this movie becomes instantly
funny. If you are a fan of almost Simpsons-style "random" humor, this film
is instantly funny. Never be turned off by the first glance of this film.
If
you dismiss it as "poor comedy" you will be missing out.
