One of them my wife tells me almost every day:
"you couldn't hear a dump truck driving through a nitro glycerin plant"

I saw this movie in the theater with a friend and his mom. I was ten years old. To this day I have yet to laugh that hard in a movie theater. I remember that movie experience vividly.

A local theater is showing it next week. Thinking of trying to talk the wife into going with me. We have the Blu-ray and watch it every year, but something about seeing it on the big screen really excites me.



Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view.

The mockery of the 1980's Yuppies was one of the best parts of this movie I thought.

I was 15, saw in the theatre, and loved it.

The box office numbers were strong:

Other newly released movies it competed with were Back to the Future II and War of the Roses.

Clark : Since this is Aunt Bethany's 80th Christmas, I think she should lead us in the saying of Grace.

Aunt Bethany : [turns to Lewis] What, dear?

Nora Griswold : Grace!

Aunt Bethany : Grace? She passed away thirty years ago.

Uncle Lewis : They want you to say Grace.

[Bethany shakes her head in confusion]

Uncle Lewis : The BLESSING!

Aunt Bethany : [they all pose for prayer] I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Clark : Amen.

Is it bad that my 4 and 6 years olds go around saying; "why is the carpet all wet todd?" "I don't know margo!"

Wife and I have matching sweaters with that on it.
