It is so cool to hate on this isn't it? So I am giving it a 10, mainly because of all the folks that gave it a 1 to be in the in crowd...and partially because Lucas was right, it stood the test of time.

The cult following isn't because it's a bad movie, it's because it's a funny movie. Just because a midget is wearing a duck suit doesn't make it bad. Just because there is duck nudity doesn't make it bad.

I mean...we loved it with Team America. It was hysterical then. It's not funny in Howard because you are told not to laugh at it.

If you give it a chance it's well worth the admission...read the rest
