This is another one of those older movies my wife and I watched together over twenty years ago, and then recently watched again. We enjoyed it just as much as we did the first time. I had forgotten a lot of the details, so that was actually a good thing as it wasn’t overly familiar to me, like watching Groundhog Day yet again would be.

The tag line suggests that the laughs never stop, but that isn’t quite accurate. There are a lot of laugh out… read the rest.
