Very funny, great 90's movie! Paulie Shore & Brendan Fraser are both hilarious. Sean Astin holds his own as well. Great watch.
Super fun and Pauly Shore’s so iconic in this film
a classic! i could recite this entire movie word by word.
This movie is so fun. Fraser does the out-of -this-world portrayal so well.
Brendan Fraser is peak himbo and Sean Astin grounds it in as much reality as he can. Pauly Shore ain’t as annoying as he usually is.
Who woulda thought 2 guys from this movie will win oscars in 30 years
A nostalgic love letter filled with humor, toxic masculinity, style and pop culture; it's simply brilliant when it's as stupid as it can be.
This is a great 90's movie created solely to pander to Pauley Shore
A cult classic. Nostalgia filled buddy comedy that has a good heart.
I miss this Brendan Fraser and Sean Astin. Classic movie.
