I liked the film also Saw it originally in the Theatres (twice I think). I've seen it a few times on regular Broadcast TV and cable when they have shown it, but it's been a few years. The DVD has been on my wantlist for quite sometime.
I can understand a little bit of people being offended by some of the racial slurring (for the Japanese and Germans) but you have to remember also it is A PERIOD PIECE. People talked like that back then plus the Japanese were THE ENEMY at the time so it expected.
As to the humor, I don't see how people can say it isn't funny. There are many funny parts. Granted if you watch the movie a few times in a row it won't be funny anymore but that is part of what comedy is all about.

I am fifteen, and watched it for the first time tonight. I had never heard of it before, but when i saw that Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi were in it, I had to watch it. I absolutely loved it! It kept me laughing the entire time! But, then again, it is a type of comedy that has a limited audience. I was really surprised when i went online and read that is was a flop.
Well, you can't please every body, but it sure pleased me

Loved this film as a kid and I still have my original VHS copy of it on my shelf with all my other vintage tapes. It's one of my guilty pleasures as a truly cinematic gem.
John Belushi and the entire cast were fantastically hilarious.
This film is how I would imagine a live action Bug Bunny movie would be. -

This is a very funny movie if you aren't hopelessly politically correct and can't laugh at something that is funny, period. Schindler's List? Can't stand that over-rated film. Give me this one any day.

I like it too. It's very much like
Magical Mystery Tour
but only in a different context. I don't know if the Beatles' film was the actual inspiration too for this production. I recall Paul McCartney once mentioning Spielberg in some interview telling how much Spielberg appreciates MMT.

When I don't like a movie, I can pick it to pieces, but when I like a movie, I don't try to analyze why. I like steak better than oatmeal,,, it's just a matter of taste. I've seen this movie a dozen times, like everything about it and it never gets old.
