    If you were I fan of the old series, you will love this. I can watch it over and over and still laugh every time.

    Just about the dumbest movie I've seen in a long time. However, Cloris Leachman, Dabney Colman and Lily Tomlin nailed their respective parts, they were great. Nobody else was though.

    This movie never claimed to be Oscar-worthy so it's quite alright to just enjoy it for the silly little thing that it is. It's fun and light-hearted and has Ernest in it, which is a plus for any movie. Watch it with your kids and your kids' friends.
