7/10
Excellent slapstick comedy
16 January 2005
I've recommended this film to countless friends, and the reviews are always mixed. I lived in Battle Creek for 3 years so perhaps it just means more to me.

This film was in fact shot in NY and NC, not Battle Creek, but they still did a great job portraying the romance of the early 1900's.

The performances are top notch and the actors in this film are give their best. It's a great film, but not a critically acclaimed movie.

Dana Carey could've had more lines, but what I want to know is what happened to the character actor who played him as a child, this kid was really great and could've been huge.

The one liners in this movie are classic. It's one of those films that you think is funny, but when you recall it at a later date, its even funnier.

So get a big, buttered bowl of popcorn and enjoy it for what it is! A hilarious tale of the wacky health craze of the early 1900's.
