WARNING:  I watched this wanting to laugh...
From the beginning, I was rolling.  Giving Val Kilmer the name of Cunth sent my laughter rating through the roof.  Then the cemetery scene where he gets dressed...hilarious.  One thing after another kept me laughing a little too loudly (LALTL).

The movie was a bit on the ‘potty mouth’ side and did succumb to the easy laughs, but they worked.  I laughed, a lot.  It was silliness, but I like silliness. 

The 80s music throughout the movie was well done.  The songs were appropriate and the timing was spot on.  They were the cause of a few of my laughing outbursts.

I was not in the least bit 'surprised' at the story line.  It was generally predictable, but there were a few things that I was not expecting.  Due to it being based on a TV show, it should have some predictability to it I suppose.

All in all - a good movie worth seeing.  It is not a great movie, but if you want to laugh, this one should do the trick.
