I'm not being a post-modern ironic, 20-something 80's-born faggot, this movie is good, despite being drenched in the culture of maybe the worst era in humankind. Solid and tightly wound screen-writing, good gags, decent acting, a lot of credit should go to the actor who played Bernie, best physical comedy that had happened in ages. You know, a lot of people thought physical comedy was DEAD, for many, many years. After all, it had it's a main-stay of silent-era movies, and a hold-over from the Vaudeville days, so many people labelled it as old-timey and therefore, it would never be funny again. Jim Carey made a whole lot of damn money proving them wrong and I think it stands as a testament to the fact that anything that was popular at any point and history can be brought back to some extent. Maybe YTMND, too.
I'm going to watch it today (for the third time, eheh!), and I totally agree with you. I also think of Michael Richards in Seinfeld, he made a lot of physical comedy. Often people laughed just for the way Kramer moved.
