Title: One of my favorite movies ... seriously!
Review: I can't help myself -- I LOVE this movie. I think it's one of those flicks you either love or absolutely despise.From the opening sequence (a hysterical send-up of the "Jaws" opening) to the final crazy madness, I couldn't stop laughing. Yes, the story is ridiculous (the "love story" especially is kind of dumb, and the "sex only in an airplane" is just stupid), but from what I've heard from older family members who lived in that part of the world in 1941, the movie accurately depicts the attitudes of many folks -- the near hysteria over possible additional attacks, the civilian look-outs, etc. OK, so maybe it's a *little* exaggerated in this movie, but it was very real at the time.Everyone's sense of what's funny and what isn't is different, so this will definitely not appeal to EVERYONE. But I count it among my favorite movies -- along with "A Letter to Three Wives," "Raising Arizona," "Singing in the Rain," and "Joe vs the Volcano."
