Jackson: I got the idea: Pie four ways is better than no pie at all.
Jenkins: Then we are in agreement?
Henri: Totally, completely, in every which way.
Babbette: Yes, yes, because pie is my most favorite desert.

Best movie ever made, 16 July 2000
10/10
Author: jenpresto from Hollywood, CA

This is truly one of the best movies ever made. The acting/comedy is superb! This is a compilation of some of the best actors/comedians out there. The script is silly and fun and moves quickly with all the important little stories. It is clean all American family fun. No gore, no sex, minute violence, just outrageous situations with a lot of laughs.
