Many have listed the countless funny moments in this film, but I don't think anyone's mentioned the scene at the beginning when the Flecks first visit a couple of friends they hadn't seen in many years. The husband is a police negotiator, the kind of guy who specializes in coolness under fire, such as "talking people down" when they threaten to jump from a bridge or building. His disgruntled son, perhaps mildly autistic, climbs onto the garage roof, clutching the Flecks' prize terrier. Suffice it to say that, in this situation, the negotiator does NOT employ the same masterful suicide-preventing techniques he uses at work. Of course, this same guy is the first of an endless series of ex-lovers that Cookie Fleck runs into, and she doesn't really remember any of them very clearly! A brilliantly funny idea perfectly carried out.
Or how about the ancient, toothless, wrinkled-up (but really wealthy) human wreck who is married to the buxom Kristy? The old sod has absolutely no lines to speak at all, yet he is hysterical, just sitting next to his brainless wife, whose lips are so full of Botox she can hardly utter an intelligible word.
The gay couple is spot-on accurate, so real they don't even seem to be acting. Ed Begley as the hotel manager checks them in at the front desk, telling them that one of the available rooms has a "queen"-sized bed; WHAT ARE YOU SUGGESTING? demands Scott in mock indignation.
Catherine O'Hara and Eugene Levy, in every scene, remind you very clearly why "SCTV" is the funniest TV show that's ever been on. And of course, the magnificent Fred Willard: "Trevor, it's really amazing to think that, in some parts of the world, these dogs are actually eaten!"
Don't miss this one! They will have you eating it up!
