| | One of the best comedies I've ever seen. | anonymous 06/18/2007 | | This movie stars a great variety of comedians. The diversity of personalities and their comic styles makes it possible for me to watch it over and over again. My VHS is wearing out. How I wish it was on DVD. The comedy is always in good taste, focasing on the lives of loosers just trying to get the most out of life. |
