Hilarious at times

I saw rented this movie in the mid 90's as I walked through the aisle at Blockbuster. My friend and I saw the awesome cover (much funnier than what has) and saw the name and we decided we must watch this.

From the beginning, the movie is a joke. It starts on a funny and strange note and there are a handful of funny scenes, but it gets mixed with a lot of boring "meh" moments. I'd say watch it while you're doing something else and be prepared to rewind in case you walk back into it in the middle of a funny scene.
