Forget Citizen Kane. As a matter of history, this seminal film is unquestionably the finest work of cinema ever made. Required viewing for all students and fans of the art form.

The film doesn't seem to have much of a focus. But it doesn't seem to want one, either.

Unfortunately, only about half of the many jokes and gags in the film are actually funny.

Full of...goofy ironies, and while it ain't Molière, it is a pretty great entry in the teen-comedy genre. [Blu-ray]
