My rating: 10/10

Will I watch it again? FUCK, YEAH!

This one's going to be short but for different reasons.  I LOVE this flick.  It's one of those 'guaranteed to make me very happy' films and one that I've been watching since I was a kid.  The performances are all spot on and hilarious, the gags are funny, the script, dialogue, everything fires on all pistons.  It's a perfect comedy in my book.  "Five bucks says the Smails kid picks his nose."
