Gotta be one of the funniest movies of all time! 7mm "Preserving the Constitution, fighting off the nibblers and chippers, even nibblers and chippers with good intentions, was once regarded by conservatives as the first duty of the citizen. It still is." � Wesley Pruden

I was always a Jonathon Winters fan, and that was one of his best performances. Although, when Steve Martin and John Candy woke up snuggling with each other, and the "That's not a pillow" line was spoken, I laughed pretty hard then.

If filmed with a bunch of no names, it probably wouldn't would not have the same impact. I like it! "The Democrat Party looks like Titanic survivors.

It was not well received critically IIRC. I was not old enough to remember it come out, but I read reviews of it later on. When I first saw it, it was funny as hell. I didn't see it again for years. I couldn't watch it all the way through when I saw it years later. Just wasn't as funny. The best part had to be when the Stooges showed up though.

They were funny when we were young but we've tried watching some on netflix and turned them off. I'd have to start watching Mad Mad to see how it hit me today. “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.
