This are fun and games with a scantily clad young woman. But by today standards, it's not very naughty stuff.

Weird reworking of Night at the Opera that's more peculiar than successful.

I never knew this movie even existed until recently. The jokes come quick but very witty. I bought the bluray so I'll have to give it a second watch to catch all of them. If your in the mood for a good laugh, I would recommend this movie. 🤣

Does anyone want to make a statement about this movie? Would you like to make a statement to 21 year old, blonde, miss wet t-shirt winning secretary?

A laugh every 2 seconds. This movie is hilarious if you don't take life too seriously.

When I first saw the movie, I almost lost my breath laughing at the ballet sequence. The critics thought the jokes fell flat, but I disagree. It's probably one of my favorite comedies of all time.
