Pure Genius! This movie and Blind Date. Under rated comedies! We had just moved in with my Mom after selling our home in 06. My Mom, brother, his girlfriend, husband and myself were all sick at the same time.

We were laughing and coughing. Looking back it was a perfect day. 😂🤧🤒

This has got to be the greatest comedy of all time. And this scene takes the cake. What a hoot! Each line is funnier than the last... "Perhaps we should go by ship... Ruprecht loves the water!"
