Title: Funny movie, just as I remembered it...
Review: I remember seeing this movie on TV when I was a kid in the 70's and always remembered it being incredibly funny. Watched it again for the first time in years and it was as funny as I remembered it! The scenes where the townspeople are all going through withdrawal are priceless with arguably the best collection of comedic actors of that generation in one movie(just TRY not to laugh during Tom Poston's drunken monologue!). It's not a perfect movie, maybe a bit dated, and some of the characters ( especially the pastor's wife, played by Pippa Scott) could have been given more to do, but it's a great movie nonetheless.Could it be remade today? Possibly, but then again they would probably cast Adam Sandler in the Bob Newhart role which would ruin the movie right there (along with a collection of excrement jokes because nobody can figure out how to write comedy without them anymore)
