Absolutely hysterical!
This is by far one of our family's most favorite movies of all time! The first time we watched it we actually had to pause the movie several times because we were laughing so hard! We have now watched it numerous times and still get a good laugh out of it. My youngest daughter actually memorized most of the movie and will occasionally throw out a line or two causing us to chuckle. Harland Williams does a fantastic job in the lead role. Hilarious! Need a laugh? Watch this one!

Awesome movie. This is a family favorite of ours. How this was overlooked at Oscar time I'll never know.
