In your opinion is this a must own movie?


In your opinion, is this a movie you have to own or is this a movie that you would just watch on tv if it was on?

It's funny, lots of obesity jokes, really high brow stuff

Na. I picked it up a few mos ago at the thrift shop. Wasn't as good as I remember. Sold it with a batch of 50 don't need to own movies for $20.

I am an 80s kid and love so many films from this period, love Candy and Aykroyd, and it even has the girl from The Boy Who Could Fly in it (who made very little films), but I never saw this film until the weekend just passed.

I'd say that no, it is not a must-own film. I don't think I'd ever watch it again. Just wasn't that great to me. Had its moments, but was quite mediocre overall.
