Definitely yay! This is the first time I knew there were people on this planet who didn't like it. I must be living in my own little quirky humor bubble. My kids and I think it's hilarious.

Worst. Movie. Ever. I watched the first hour, thinking it *had* to get funny. Nope, it didn't. I really don't get the appeal of that movie at all.

It was ok once. I rarely see movies multiple times while DH can watch many movies over and over.
DS was Napoleon for Halloween not long ago.

Nay. Not our kind of humor although I liked the actors in it.

I like it
as as my kids get older I think I appreciate movies that are not full of violence, sex, and cursing and are still funny and entertaining. My son is almost 13 and it is one of his favorites. We quote that sucker all the time!

I agree with those who said it takes a second viewing to find it funny. It's such an unusual kind of movie that I think it takes you a while to get your bearings. So yeah, watch it twice.

The quotes! OMGosh, the QUOTES!!! Some that live strong in our house: You gonna eat your tots? Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills. Tina, you fat lard, come get some DINNER! Gosh! But my lips hurt real bad! (We use a lot of chapstick around here so that one gets used a lot!) Those are the most used but there are SOO many classic and perfectly ridiculous one liners in that movie!

Ugh, it's SO "nay" that it's BECOME "yay!" We used to teach highschool sunday school, and our group came over one night and brought the dvd when it first came out. Oh, hiw I hated that movie....random, no point, and just Flippin' odd. But watching it with a bunch of 14 and 15 year olds that were so into it and loved it made us appreciate the randomness and pointlessness of that movie so much more. We actually still quote it around here, and that was several years ago!
The answer to so many questions at our house is "..'cause my lips hurt REAL BAD!" and "...so yeah, I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious..."
And it'd be real nice if you could pull me into town....LOL!!!!

As much as I want to give it a big, giant NAY, we quote the movie WAAAAYYYY too much around our house. In fact, just the other night I announced, "Tina! You fat lard, come get some dinner!" when food was ready.

Yay! My family and I loved the humor of that dumb movie. And I agree that it gets funnier the more you watch it.

First time through, I was like: "wth is THAT?" Watched it a second time and laughed out loud. I think it helps if you look at it as a John Hughes 80s movie tipped on its head.

NAY nay nay all of the way. Please read that in a chanting sort of voice over if you would and throw your fist in the air please. That should get through how much I did not enjoy the movie I believe

LOVE this movie, quote it all the time!
Interesting factoid.....the actor who plays Uncle Rico is a vegetarian, and he had to "eat" all that steak! They offered to put fake meat on the plate but he refused...he'd chew it, and spit it out after the scene cut away!

I love stupid humor movies. A work friend bought it for me because he thought I'd love it. I made it about half hour in, and that's only because I was watching it with my son. When he walked out, so did I.
I've learned not to trust the work friend's opinion on movies for me as he's 0 for 3.
Now Clue or Real Genius, I'm all over and quoting the heck out of those stupid movies!

The first time I watched it I hated it. My DH laughed himself silly and I thought it was stupid and pointless.
But then the second time I watched it it suddenly because hilarious! So it gets a big yay from me.

Nay...I don't like those types of movies. I often feel left out of one big joke when others are talking about some of these iconic hits.

Yes! It's in my top 10 funniest movies of all times. I do agree you would have to watch it more than once to appreciate it. So many quotes we use all the time.

YAY! It's a family favorite. We have the DVD and also recorded on the DVR. We watch it regularly and quote from it often.

I was actually angry when I finished watching that movie. I watched it fairly soon after it came out, and had heard all about how HILARIOUS it was! I didn't find it remotely funny and wanted to turn it off immediately, but there was so much hype around it, I thought it MUST get better. It didn't. When it ended, I was so mad that I had wasted 2 hours of my life on such a pointless, stupid movie.
So yeah- I would say I'm a nay vote.
