I wish I could learn to appreciate this movie

I saw this movie for the first time last year after putting it off for a long time. I had heard that it was hilarious and many people described it as a classic. However, once I actually watched it, I was pretty disappointing in it. And this is coming from someone who likes satire, like Austin Powers, Dumb & Dumber, Airplane, etc.

I wonder if I disliked it because I saw it with too high of expectations. I went in thinking it was going to be a fantastic movie and was let down. But everyone who saw it ten years ago probably went in with somewhat low expectations and then walked out surprisingly satisfied.
