What an hilarious movie!

My wife and I saw this movie on opening day and it was good! It was also good to see Bernie, Isaac, and Sam in this movie. My stomach hurt from laughing so hard! My wife told me to stop laughing so loud and hard I was disturbing the other people in the theater...what a funny show. I will truly miss Bernie and Isaac they are a part of my life forever. Toooo Funny:) What a wining movie for the audience. We are hoping that this movie breaks box office record for the cast of this movie since it was so entertaining. Good luck to the producer and his team. I would appreciate getting a poster of the the movie to hang on the wall in my house. Great show!
