That's about the best that I can come with, and that is a good thing...just a pleasant film. I watched it on On Demand the other night for the first time since I originally saw it on cable back in 1978. I was a teen ager who wanted to write movies, and this is one of the films that I recorded onto an audio cassette to listen to over and over again to help with my visualization.
There is nothing overly funny about it, it doesn't leave me in stitches, but I do smile a lot while watching it. It is also interesting to see some of the old bit players from the 70s who have either died off (Anne Ramsay) or stopped getting work. For some reason, it is a pleasure to watch. I think there is a sense of living vicariously through this couple that makes it enjoyable to watch.
Seeing it as an adult, there are jokes that I now get that I didn't as a pre-teen, but it is still a film that I would let a child watch. It's entertaining...nothing I can overtly say than that it is an entertaining movie, and I am interested to see what Jim Carrey does to the remake.
