truly hilarious, 28 November 2002
8/10
Author: mavegibson from vancouver, canada

when I saw this movie I laughed so hard I actually had to pause it at times so I wouldn't miss anything. I thought perhaps it was "just me", and that most people might not find it all that funny (it has STUPID humor) but I have very rarely heard of anyone who has not found it equally hilarious. RENT IT!!! you won't regret it. the train sequence alone makes it worth it. I can't count how many times I've recalled a scene or a line from this movie and laughed out loud. dave foley is brilliant! it's a shame that this movie never really saw the light of day, but I truly believe it's time will come.
