I thought this was screamingly funny when it came out. It was the movie everyone quoted until “Napoleon Dynamite” came out. I tried rewatching it maybe a year or two ago and it’s aged like milk. Too much of the comedy relies on unhealthy stereotypes & tropes.
It’s purposefully stupid so the tropes don’t bother me, the reason it was funny at the time was because the tropes hadn’t been established as much. It’s like saying old art is boring cause everyone does that now not realizing it was the OG. I still liked it and we watched it for movie night once and my at the time 19 and 21 year old kids liked it, we all quote it now.
It actually holds up better when you interpret the guy walking out of, and back onto the closet, without either of them aware, in one of the first scenes, as demonstrating the theme of the movie.
I got free-ticket coupons when the film melted in the middle of (an inconsequential scene in) Shaft. We chose to see Dude, Where’s My car?. I still want my money back.
It’s got two very quotable bits, but the rest I didn’t like in the slightest. Both leads have done better work!
I nominate “Dude, Where’s My Car?”.

Don’t go dissing the original Hangover movie like that.

I watched it a couple years back. I thought it was funny.
Meanwhile Napoleon is like a fine wine.
