Jeffrey M @hestitateandlose Apr 18 I’m here to tell you that 35 or 40 years after this movie came out, me and my friends still quote the movie. Pondo Sinatra is a part of our comedic lives. I went off to college 4 states away and all my friends loved it too. Haven’t heard a bad review in my life. Literally on the same plane as Animal House. Must see. You can thank me later. See more James 12/16/2024 This film is grossly misread. Is hilarious from beginning to end. There's legendary lines I still use today. As quotable as Fletch, Wierd Science, Big Labowski etc. The people that pan this movie are not who to listen to. There are killer scenes in this movie. Elbow's pep talk to Pondo about p#$$y is legendary. One of, if not THE funniest movies I've EVER seen. On top of that, has a very killer soundtrack too. This comedy is a pure, unadulterated hidden gem regardless of what these squids write about it. It's a STELLAR movie See more 04/13/2020 Best campy movie ever. I have seen worst movies made into sequels. The Pondo Sinatra character is that friend you knew in High school or College, who could never get a date no matter how hard they tried. This is why its so -funny.

It's got great acting so many funny moments and good story all in one movie. I really love this movie. See more Read all reviews
