  Boring
  
  Best left in the 80's. I couldn't even finish watching it... And to think Chevy Chase was considered a legend at the time...

  Classic Chevy Chase
  
  Excellent film well worth watching if you are a fan of this genre (i.e. caddyshack, memoris of an invisible man etc.)

  Superb Classic
  
  If you've seen it before then you don't need me to tell you how good it is. If you haven't then add it to your list now.

  An all-time comedy great
  
  Not just the best comedy to come out of the eighties but one of the best comedies of all time. A performance of pure genius from Mr Chevy Chase.
