  Silly Fun

  Not original at all, but still very funny
  
  I watched this on TV one night and I really enjoyed it. The film is very good, and probably the only good spoof in the world, other than Superhero Movie. There ... read more »

  Airplane, worth seeing?
  
  Wouldn't call it the best film of all time but still quite funny ! Few boring bits. Nothing else to do, get this film, puts you in a good mood.
