Love love loved it, 18 August 2005

Author: Karly89 from Australia

Its one of those movies you remember forever... it sounds cheesy but i recall it from my childhood , one thing that stuck in my mind was the peanut butter and onion sandwitch.. so i decided i had to buy it,

I've had it for almost 6 months and watched it religiously. There's something about it that screams childhood and simplicity but also has that black satire comedy style to it, which makes it one of the greats, not to mention Howie Mendel and Fred savage together, i think there great especially the scene where they are at Ronnie Colman's house lol hysterical ( great improv Fred) Love this movie always will .... My absolute favourite !
