I guess it's just a generational thing??

I can be 100% certain that my grandfather would have laughed for the entire movie! I on the other hand, thought it was very bad comedy. Maybe if I hadn't been exposed to modern comedy etc., I would not have been checking to see when it was over every 3 min. I certainly mean no disrespect to any of the stars in it, or any who adore this film. I just find it interesting how different age groups don't understand other's comedy. My dad put it simply; "Your Papaw thinks Johnny Carson was funny, I don't. I think David Letterman is funny, and you don't. I don't like Conan O'Brian, and you do." It's just interesting to me. Now war movies, that's a different story. Both of my grandfathers, my dad, and I, could sit all day happily watching WWII movies.
