Just watched this again for the first time in decades. No spoilers, but Steve Martin steals the show. I'm not sure which version I saw as a kid, but I just watched the original version. It's amazing that they threw away the original ending for something else.
This movie will not delight all, especially those who do not enjoy musicals. The lyrics are fun though, and there is enough satire and parody here to keep you in sly smiles and light chuckles. Steve Martin is laugh-out-loud delightful though!
It is a difficult movie to rate, as it is not a great film. It's intentionally hokey. It's intentionally silly. The plot is not complex, there are no real twists or surprises. It is an oddly sweet film though. This black comedy is just a fun romp and a good choice for some pre-Halloween fun.
