This is true.

"I was just contemplating the last words of Socratese, when he said, 'I drank what?'"

It's rare that anyone can pull off that kind of gag-a-minute writing.

I love Jon Gries as Laslo.

Another movie that I must watch whenever it's on cable.

Yet another movie I compulsively quote. It manages to be quintessentially 80s without any cloying baggage.

"What is this?"
"This? This is ice. This is what happens to water when it gets too cold. This is Kent. This is what happens to a man when he gets too sexually frustrated."
"Am not."
"Oh yeah? Then why did I catch you naked with a bowl of Jell-O?"
"Did not!"
"It's true!"

"i passed but i failed."
"well then i'm happy and sad for you."
"thanks."



"i want to see a lot more of you in the lab."
"fine then, i'll gain weight."

Just watched this yet again last week. Still laughed, still loved it. This movie defies its own flaws.

And Gabriel "Mitch Taylor" Jarret either had a VERY kind young adulthood or he had some work done:

good film, no doubt about it. not crap.
