Quotes

Rhonda Altobello: Hi, I'd like to sign up for Lamaze classes.
Nurse: Okay. How are Tuesday nights for you and your coach?
Rhonda Altobello: Perfect. But, I don't have a coach.
Nurse: Well, what about the father?
Rhonda Altobello: Well, you see, that's sort of confusing. It's either David Lee Roth who's on tour or Sean Penn. And I'd really hate to upset Madonna.
Nurse: [unamused] Fill this out.

hilarious feel good film

This has to be the funniest film I have ever seen - no matter how many times I watch it I still laugh in all the same places. I love all the characters, but especially Freddy who has the right mix of cheese and charm and slobiness with a heart of gold and dashing good looks. And I love his dog too. He's soooo cute. Chainsaw and Dave are inspired, especially the scene where they turn the classroom into a horror scene, and their faces when the exchange student doesn't quite remove her bikini top. The only criticism I have is that at the beginning of summer the class is about twice the size, but mysteriously shinks until the exam at the end, and oh yes, it should have been twice as long. I really hope it gets released on DVD at some point.
