There was a stretch in the early to mid 2000's where this was a big hit to be broadcast on Comedy Central, and my young self blindly watched it. I was pleasantly surprised by this clever, fun comedy farce what-have-you. I still hold it as Barry Sonnenfeld's best work besides Men in Black and his cinematography jobs early on. Not only did he administer his great amount of style and energy to the film, but he actually did a great job in delivering the humor in that quick-witted, dialogue driven Ocean's Eleven style that was just oh-so-popular at the time.

So, anyone else fond of this film? Remember any bru-ha-ha it caused around 2001? Because I sure as hell don't. Granted, I was in the second grade. Yikes. I just surprised myself there.

It's my least favorite of the Russel/Carpenter trilogy of the 80's, but it's still pretty awesome.

And I was in the first grade in 2001.
