Featured review
What a great time. I've seen this movie several times, and it's still as funny as ever. Lighten up folks. When they meet the Lloyd and go in the time machine, I just bust a gut. I've recommended this movie to others, and think everyone should just relax, put their brains in neutral and dive in. The ending falls apart, but the jokes are plenty. I've discovered one thing about comedies--the more people there are who hate them and think they aren't funny, the better I like them. And most people don't like this movie. That's okay--I'm glad they made it, so I could enjoy it. Still highly recommended.
