| User ReviewPatrick SIt's another funny National Lampoon's movie. |
| User ReviewBrody MSuprisingly good & better then I was expecting |
| User ReviewHeba Mi had no idea what was going on. i understood nothing. and i liked it. |
| User ReviewStephanie RIt needed to be done and even though the jokes were a little off they said what needed to be said. I just wish they were written and executed a little better. |
| User ReviewChristina FAll these movies are funny and classic 80's |
| User ReviewJon HAfter waiting for several years for a DVD release of this, I was frankly amazed at how weak it is, especially given the huge, wonderful cast, not to mention the directors (Henry Jaglom and Bob Giraldi making a national lampoon movie? What's next, Kevin Smith doing Dangerous Laisons?). Anyway, long story short, you might get a few cheap laughs off this, but if you pay more than $3 for the rental, be warned: You are getting ripped off! |
| User ReviewDan GIt was too slow...I stopped watching after 15 mins. |
| User ReviewDel TThe only somewhat funny segment is the Growing Yourself with Peter Riegert..the other two stories are to stupid to mention. |
| User ReviewAllan CPretty lame and unfunny comedy. It only gets one star for having a pretty spectacular cast. Not knowing what to expect, I did have some fun being surprised by who showed up next. You get people like Diane Lane if before-they-were-famous parts, but you also get everyone from respectable Hollywood types like Richard Widmark to obscure character actors like Joe Spinell. However, that still doesn't make this film worth watching. The stars only made the film bearable. |
