An average movie

Honestly, it has been a while since I have seen this flick but when I was a kid, it was pretty much a classic. Indeed, I watched it many times and I thought it was just really hilarious. It is rather funny that this movie was so popular among young French teenagers since we missed many jokes based on American pop-culture and we had actually never heard of Saturday Night Live and we had no idea that this movie was based on a popular skit on this show. In fact, it is probably the only movie based on a Saturday Night Live skit which turned out to be so successful (in fact, ‘The Blues Brothers’ became also a cult-classic but it is still the only Saturday Night Live spin-off movie to date that has grossed over $100 million). I should re-watch it at some point, maybe I will find it completely stupid and boring but, at the time, I thought it was pretty funny. At the time, it was Mike Myers’ acting debut and he has been quite successful also with Austin Powers but ‘The Love Guru’ was a major failure and the guy hasn’t done anything much since then. Anyway, to conclude, even though it might not be a masterpiece, I think it is a decent comedy and it is definitely worth a look.
