Most people who comment on this film seem to indicate that they saw it at a very young age and have grown up with it. I can honestly say I wasn't given the opportunity to ever see it until recently, when I finally managed to watch it on USA Networks, completely uninterrupted.
Although it is not consistently laugh-out-loud, tears-in-your-eyes hilarious, "Fakin' Da Funk" is very funny - and not quite as outrageous as I had expected. There's a lot going on here, aside from silly physical humor.
Margaret Cho and Duane Martin are great as usual and Dante Basco steals the show.
Ultimately if you've never seen this, you need to go rent it out right now. If you have seen it, you already know how great it is and why it deserves its reputation as one of the most beloved comedies ever made.
