We don't need the old ones and we certainly don't need a new.


Not... FUNNY!!

Oh c'mon, slapstick, stereotypes, tits, pure 80's.
Gotta love it.

Totally. Nice to see at least one person who isn't a bitter tightass.

[neverending]

Interesting definition of bitter tightass- someone who doesn't like moronic unfunny bullshit lame so-called comedies appreciated by few people over the age of 11.

Wow so much hatred for a harmless film. I think my definition is right on the money.

[neverending]

Well, that was a bit of hyperbole, but still- those movies are ust so childish and stupid. I'm just flabbergasted that any adults can find them enjoyable.

But if you must call people names, I'll gladly accespt that label along with newb, milktoaste and Angra.

I refuse to fuck off. I never met anyone before who thought those films had an ounce of interest in them.

Maybe it's because you're so openly opinionated against them that the ones that did, never bothered to say anything for fear of a lesson in the finer points of what makes it a shit movie?
I really don't think that many people would claim it to be award winning stuff or the thinking mans comedy...

I actually quite liked the first one, when the idea was still relatively fresh.
I'd say I agree that the sequels weren't really on par...I think after about the third one they became pretty terrible, relying more heavily on their "gimmicky" characters they took way over the top, too much stereotyping and the like.
The Moscow one and the "series" was absolutely the lowest points.

The first one though was up there with the majority of the comedy films I've seen from around the same time/genre, which might not be saying much but I found it as enjoyable as many of those kind of late night tv hijinks type movies...it fit in well with movies of this type, perhaps having grown up in the 80's lowered my expectations, but I can't see HATING this film...perhaps later entries in the series, but the first one was all good.

Remake/reinvention?
Probably won't work.
