Comedy classic or comedy letdown?

Yes, I laugh my socks off each time I watch.

No, it's rubbish and I don't know what Jim was thinking.

Maybe, it's kinda funny but not his best by any means.

I love the look on Chip's face in this scene:

"Is there a problem with your service?" :lol:

And when he's trying to find the 'sweet spot' in the wall:

And of course, the scene where he stares at Steven:

I loved the movie from the first viewing and for a while i seemed to be the only one around because my friends never saw it or didn't like it so i had to defend the movie almost everytime it came up. but i am so glad that there are many others that enjoy the film.

I love the bit just after this when he holds up the cable and Steven asks about it, he replies, "that's just for effect!". :lol:

gawd no!!!.......this film ROCKS!!!!!!!!!........It's just so underated, people are too quick to damn the movie without really giving it a chance.......
Sure Jim's darker than normal, but he's vulnerable and tragic too.......it's a great movie!!!

I know. But they mocked me.

They said I was different. They said I had no taste. They looked at me as though I had grown a third ear in the middle of my forehead.
