Make no mistake, this is no masterpiece of comedy, its not even really a great movie but it is a funny dumb comedy. I put it off for almost 20 years because I just couldnt bring myself to watch it, and I think giving it years of space benefitted it for me. The two leads did their jobs well, especially Lloyd Christmas and the gags genuinely made me laugh (the Cyrano bit with the chocolate bar was really funny). Even some of the side characters were good (Bob Saget, Cheri Oteri, Shia Labeouf, Eugene Levy). Watch it if you want to give it a chance. If you're attached to the original in a blindly loyal way do not bother.
