I saw this when I was 8 or 9 when it came out - and yeah, I too am shocked to see that it was made by the same people that made those other movies I hate so much. I guess we shouldn't be so hard on them after all, eh?

What's the spanish for drunken bum?

I liked this one when I was younger, but I had no idea Friedberg and Seltzer were behind this. And yes, I would certainly watch this over Meet the Spartans, Date Movie, Disaster Movie and Epic Movie any day.

By far and away the best film they have ever done. But still weak by the standards of The Naked Gun, Hot Shots, Airplane!, Spaceballs, Blazing Saddles, etc etc.

It should be noted that they also had two other screenwriters helping them out on this one.

Really? I think this was worse than the ones they directed. Their "best" is SCARY MOVIE 1.

Maybe it's because it was rewritten by other people at Leslie Nielsen's demand.

In an interview, he stated:

" "Rick's son Jason wrote it with a college friend (Aaron Seltzer). I thought it had potential but it got pretty sophomoric as it went on," recalls Nielsen.

"I said I'd do it if they could polish it to my satisfaction. Before I knew it, Disney had agreed to produce it on the strength of my commitment."
