You may die of STOMACH FAILURE!!!, 28 August 2003
Author: Mari-36 from CA

You will laugh so hard!!! The scene in which the bathtub falls through the rotting floor and shatters is the funniest scene in a ton of funny scenes!!! I remember this in the theatre when I was 15 and I almost peed my pants during that tub scene!!!

Tom Hanks is the greatest!!!
