Crazy Hilarious, 24 July 2001
10/10
Author: Starch (johnston.scot)

One of the funniest movies ever. It adopts the "more-or-less sane central character(s), surrounded by a grab-bag of loons" approach, and works it perfectly. Sturges deftly takes the characters and dialogue right to that tricky line between "crazy hilarious" and "just crazy" without ever slipping over to the wrong side -- mostly by keeping things moving quickly enough that nothing every gets stale.
