Rated: 
|
 One of the funniest if not the funniest
spoof ever produced. Makes fun of everyone foolish enough to
venture onscreen, and most everyone offscreen as well. Contains
every joke format known to man (sight gags, puns, double-entendres,
bathroom humor, you name it) and throws in a few new ones. Still
funny after thirty-plus viewings. Um...so I'm told---I haven't
watched it that many times myself....I mean...I have a life,
okay?!.....and don't call me Shirley.
