This movie is an absolute classic. If you haven’t seen it you must. It’s older but yet still fresh and funny

Despite how goofy this seems, the climax to this movie was just so fun to watch and had me on the edge of my seat.

Cheesy but manages to give you enough laughs to keep you going.

It one my favorite movies of all time. Such a unique premise. And how casually the two main characters treat death is hilarious!

Silly and very funny, it's surprising how well they pull off such a stupid concept

I never thought about how 2 people and a dead body could be so hilarious but they did it. And had a little of everything for a comedy

Goofy slapstick comedy that relies heavily on physical comedy and the charisma of its two leads. Did not love the romance subplot, honestly.
