Written review:

This was a movie I remember my parents loving while I was growing up. I remember watching it and not fully getting it, but loving it nonetheless because they did. When I revisited once I was a bit older, I finally realized the appeal. This movie has a warm place in my heart for the sentimental value, but also just because of how absurd, standalone, and iconic it is in its own right. Its truly one of a kind and offers up an unforgettable acting duo from the main characters. I can’t count how many times I’ve heard lines from this movie around my home. This is a movie everyone should partake in at least once in their life, but if I had to guess, you’ll watch it many times over.
