Unbelievable writing

I must say, this is definitely one of the most excellently written screenplays of all time. The first time I saw it (out of about 127 now), I was blown away. I still get chills sometimes when I watch it.

I can't say it is quite up there with Chinatown, Casablanca, The Godfather I and II, or Sunset Blvd...but it's probably sixth on my list. Impecable by any standards, truly a classic in American cinema history.

I dare say, I must agree. By far the most superior of the Ernest series.

Whoever wrote it should get tenure and feel very giving to his Screenwriting class this December.

It is a damn good movie, but I am assuming that there are a few Vandy students around here.

This is my favourite Ernest film. I love the others in the series aswell. it's light hearted, fun comedy : ). I want to buy the whole set.

Well, you're exaggerating a bit, but it is pretty well written. Way better than most comedies they make these days.

Courage, men! We've not sunk before, and we'll not sink now!
