    Cheap but funny. We got a huge laugh out of this as kids. Re-watching as an adult wasn't as fun. But there's still a lot of good scenes.

    I watched this movie when it came out. I thought it was sooooo funny back then. I wanna watch it again now and see if I still think the same thing.

    Funny and a classic. Loved it when I first saw it and it's still really funny. It rocks.

    Very dated in its look and feel, but it still has got some great lines in it.
