    A movie that is not only achingly funny but also full of serious and philosophical truisms.

    If it proves nothing else, this movie establishes that it is impossible for a film to get the NC-17 rating from the MPAA for language alone. This takes the trophy for dirty talk, and I've seen the docs by Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy and Andrew Dice Clay.

  4. Breaks down before it gets out of the driveway.
