rating: 5 QuoteOne of the funniest comedies ever made, and one of my favorites!Quote
It never fails. No matter what mood I am in, this film can make me laugh till I cry. I can be in the nastiest, most foul mood ever, pop in this DVD, and laugh my head off. It never gets old, either. Watching the entire cast at the top of their game is quite a treat. Mike Nichols struck comic gold with this film in 1996. I saw it in the theatres when it came out, and it has been a favorite of mine ever since! Why this film wasn't nominated for several Oscars is beyond me. You'll never see a funnier comedy of errors than this! Well, some of you may disagree, but as far as I am concerned, this film takes the cake!

For those who are offended by the subject matter, get over yourself and watch the film. Give it a chance. You may find yourself rolling in the floor. June 24, 2008

I can't review this DVD because the copy I received was not playable on my system. I have returned it and await a refund. Why send a DVD to the UK which does not match the UK system?

COMO TODOS YA SABEMOS ESTA PELICULA ES BASADA EN SU VERION ORIGINAL LA AULA DE LAS LOCAS LA VERSION FRANCESA PERO ESTA VERSION AMERICANA ESTA MUY SIMPATICA PERO NO ES COMO LA ORIGINAL INTERESANTE PARA VER February 8, 2008

rating: 5 QuoteA true classic of comedyQuote
okies here's the deal, this is a truly funny film, and with each repeated viewing it just gets funnier. It is a remake of a classic French film, and both are great of course. This is a movie I can't recommend enough. One quick note, this movie does deal with two adults in a same sex marriage, and the humor comes from the situations around this. It does not make fun of gay lifestyle, nor does it in any way make you uncomfortable about this part of the story. It simply is what it is. So let the comedy begin, and enjoy a really great funny movie...thank me later hahahahaha February 5, 2008
