Good movie to watch from the booth. You can catch different parts of it as you have time and still follow the simple story. A lot of fast one-liner laughs. It seemed like an update of Woody's movie "Take The Money and Run" Also was a big tribute to the honeymooners. The fighting with all the hilirous insults, and at the end in case any one didn't get the tribute, Woody says "Baby Your the Greatest". Woody's sister-in-law Mae, was a scream just acting totally dumb. It's enjoyable but you'll probally forget it fast.

"May" was played by screenwriter Elaine May. I can't remember off-hand what movies she's written. The movie made me want to go make some toll-house chocolate chip cookies

. Tracy Ullman is a great talent IMO.

Woody still is something special - and when he leaves his Bergman trauma behind him as here, and just make fun - he's quite entertaining.
Maybe Woody's fans are not very interested, but others might find it a bit to smart to put up the signs with "Dolby Digital" and "dts", when every sound comes out the center hole. Great soundtrack-choises as always by Woody, though !

2½ out of 4 stars
