just watched this movie this morning for probably the 20th time. every time I watch it, it actually gets funnier and funnier.

this is probably one of my favorite comedies of all time, which is surprising given that I originally thought it would be horrible. went into it with 0 expectations and was blown away.

the movie is all around solid, everything from the 80s soundtrack/endless amount of 80s references to the great cast.

for those of you who put off watching this one because you thought it looked bad, please give it a chance. it truly is underrated as fuck.
 
It is completely stupid but completely lovable. That's what they were going for and they succeeded. Like you, I think it gets funnier every time. I love the running joke with Crispin Glover's arm.
 
Totally agree! Coming from a HUGE fan of '80's movies (The Goonies and Better Off Dead are two of my favorite all-time movies), it perfectly captures that '80's feel.

Definitely a movie that on the surface looks completely stupid (and, well, it kinda is), but manages to execute on every agenda it had (namely, re-creating '80's movie cliches).
 
I saw this around when I saw The Hangover, and I enjoyed HTTM immensely more. It's sillier, but it has more heart.

I love this scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZORfO7KnFK8

The breaking-the-fourth-wall titular line was great as well.

Also, who subscribes to the theory that
the entire movie is Rob Cordy's character's hallucinatory fantasy as he dying in his car?
 
I absolutely loved this movie..

Being a kid of the 80's, I grew up with movies like Better Off Dead, One Crazy Summer, The Sure Thing (all Cusack movies, I know) and so I was really hoping this movie was a hit, because I love when Cusack plays a character like this...
 
Me and a mate have probably watched it 15+ times, it's our default late night movie when we're just hanging out and talking shit.

We throw it on in the background whilst having a few beverages and chuckle away.

I wasn't aware there was a sequel in the works! Hopefully it lives up to the first. :D
 
I remember laughing out loud looking at this movie at the movie theater. But the only thing I can remember about it was the girl with the great boobs.
 
Went to school with the girl that Clark Duke dances with. The one that's like "Come find me" or something. Did a lot of musical theater stuff with her. Nice girl. Alittle stuck up, but worked was pretty professional in most of our shows.
 
I work with a guy at my store who loves the film Rubber, a movie about a tire that kills people with its mind, but refuses to watch this movie BECAUSE OF ITS TITLE!

I can't convince him to just sit down and watch it.

Either way, I love the shit out of this movie so much. Even though I saw it in the theater with my ex the weekend before we almost broke up the first time.

I like it more than The Hangover.
 
I can't believe so many people liked this painfully unfunny piece of shit.

Enough about Craig Robinson though, let's move onto the movie as a whole. It sucked.
 
One of those comedies that was a pleasant surprise. Went in with no expectation and gave me plenty of laughs, like the 21 Jumpstreet remake.
 
Expected the worst, loved it. Rob Corddry is hilarious. It's one of the few films (maybe the only film) I actually liked Cusack. Sucks he isn't coming back but Scott should be able to replace him if they write the character the same way.
 
I like how they have these little inside jokes that they never really explain, like them whispering great white buffalo and how they dont speak about what happened in Cincinnati. Made them actually feel like a group of friends with a history

What the fuuuuuuuuuck.

I'm cautiously optimistic for the sequel, though I wish Cusack had stayed on. His 'straight man' approach helped make the movie for me.
 
You know, there are a shit-ton of movies that feature an aspect of time travel, and 99% of the time it ends badly. This is a rare case where everyone is better off for having changed shit in the past, and I found that refreshing.

Definitely a movie that had no business being as good as it was.
 
I'm trying to figure out how a sequel would work, but I don't care because Gillian Jacobs. Jillian Gacobs. Gullain Jicabs. That's all I need.

Also, Chevy Chase returning. That's enough for me.
