Was I born too late?

To get this movie? Or is it just that bad? I was born in 1977 and had today off and had AMC on in the background and this movie came on. I had heard this title so I thought, what the heck, I will check it out. I watched through the whole thing. This was horrible. Unmitigated disaster horrible. Nothing was even kind of funny. In either a slapstick or clever way. I though MASH was the most overrated comedy in history. This takes it's place at the top. Hell, the funniest scene was when they were all in casts laughing at the nurse.

I'm sure there are people in all age groups who are for some unfathomable reason taken with the kind of moronic "humor" that's on display here. And they may even be smart folks with good taste otherwise. This though... this isn't much better than something like Benny Hill.

I was born in 1975, saw it when I was a kid, and have loved it ever since.

It's a matter of personal taste.

I happen to be a millennial, but I only like things from the mid-century era. So I love this movie. I think I'm going to watch it again this week.
