Review

a hilarious romp. it’s got a good “message” too, if you want to call it that. basically, the undercurrent of the film is that grownups lose sight of their youthful exuberance in their quest to plan out the rest of their lives and accumulate money. the film doesn’t preach at all, but the theme is there if you are willing to think about it between laughs. as is always true with these films, the plot ends up getting in the way of the comedy in the latter third of the film, but that happens in even the best comedies (planes, trains, and automobiles, for example). basically didn’t stop laughing for the first half of the film so it’s definitely recommendable.
