funniest movie of all time!

Amy Myers

Robbie Benson co-wrote, co-produced, wrote the songs, sang the songs and starred in this sophmoric comedy. He should have stayed home and read a book on how to be a good producer, song writer, actor and singer. The emphasis is on the staying at home. The monkey boosted the rating up. It's very sad when a monkey gives the best performance in a film.
