Ditto - I have absolutely no desire to see it. Da Ali G Show drove me crazy, it was stupid, not funny. The fact that everyone believes the guy is really that naive, stupid! I have to turn the radio station when KROQ has their Armenian Comedian or Doto. Same type of characters. Just STUPID!

If forced to pick one I'd go with Ferris Beuller but it wouldn't be a happy choice. Actually if I had to pick one of the trio of movies that were taken as proof that god loves us and bestows gifts upon us during my junior high/high school years and yet I despided (because Satan loves me) I'd pick Heathers as the most watchable..

"Greetings and salutations." That is my favorite 80s movie. I am a full blooded teen angst Hughes fan (Bueller, Breakfast Club, 16 Candles, Some Kind of Wonderful, etc.) but Heathers was the ultimate. I quote Heathers and Bueller quite often. "Bulimia is so 87" "F*ck me gently with a chainsaw, do I look like Mother Teresa!"
