My wife and I find this movie to be, as the title describes, HYSTERICAL! Oddly enough, as funny as we find it to be, we have not been able to get our friend to stay awake through the whole movie (what's up with that?). We often discuss purchasing a copy, but haven't found it on VHS. Unfortunately, unlike others who've commented, we never recorded a copy off cable... live and learn! If you'd like to have a mindless, entertaining, laugh-out-loud evening, rent this movie (if you can find it at your local video store)!
