Y'know, I find it amazing...So many obscene-budget movies nowadays offer so little and deliver even less. Weak story lines, poor dialogue, and no originality... Then we have The Whoopee Boys. Like great Bugs Bunny episodes, I could watch this thing over and over and over (and I have). On the outside, it doesn't look like much, doesn't cast massive stars, but it delivers in so many intricate comedy-in-your-face ways. O'Keefe and Rodriguez play off each other perfectly. It's not that I roll on the floor laughing (well, maybe in some parts), but that I laugh on the inside, emit the odd guttural snicker, and I feel good after seeing it. There aren't very many movies that do that. For example, I just finished watching a couple of bombs: Crazy on the Outside (Tim Allen) and Fantastic Mr. Fox. TERRIBLE - don't see them. Yet here we have this innocent film made over twenty years ago that takes you by storm and engulfs you before you know what hits you.
