A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
