I put this movie on whenever I have a bad day. May not be a cinematic masterpiece, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s just fun to watch

Funny but a little forgettable. It’s good for kids and adults too.

R.I.P. Freddie Mercury. This and Freddy's Dead came out when he passed. Oh, I was over Rik Mayall once Young Ones ended so forget this.
