You know, Mr. Otter and I were just looking for brainless entertainment, and fully expected to dislike this intensely...and found ourselves laughing hysterically at this movie in spite of that.

Yes, it's dumb. Yes, it's a remake of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, which I personally hated so much I never got through more than about 15 minutes. Yes, a lot of really silly things happen...but, as Mr. Otter pointed out, and contrary to the general tenor of most current comedies, this one has nothing mean about it. Nothing. It's silly and funny, and that's it.

And some of the stuff they came up with...the Lucy bus, the squirrel lady...and the Barbie museum. Oh my god, the Barbie museum. That was the point where Mr. Otter and I totally lost it, we were on the floor we were laughing so hard.

Doesn't hurt at all having Cuba Gooding Jr in it, mostly in his skivvies; he's SO CUTE! and I especially liked Rowan Atkinson...whenever that man opens his mouth, he makes me laugh very hard. What a great character! John Cleese, the teeth were a little wierd, but maybe that was the point...?

Even if you hate the recent crop of nasty low-rent potty humor genX comedies, give this one a try, you may be surprised.
