This film was way before my time so maybe that's why it's missed on me,
I only know of the "surely you can't be serious? Yes I am and stop calling me Shirley" line heading into this film and most of the internet quoting it as "the best comedy of all time!" Weirdly enough I've watched the naked gun trilogy and much prefer those to this film!
I can imagine back in it's day this would have been peak comedy, but today (to me anyway) it just feels dated, wooden, tries too hard and not funny.
Definitely watch it and make your own opinion though, maybe it's not for me.
