ETA: funny to read the diametrically opposite opinions of a husband and wife.

I wouldn't say diametrically opposed. We both laughed, we both agreed it was funny. I didn't expect anything but a long episode, and was satisfied. GD expected something worth spending the money on, something different from what you could see at home in 1994, and he was disappointed. My low expectations worked out for me

But can you name all those lesser characters?

No, I expected something as bad as the current TV episodes, and in that regard it exceeded my expectations. But "exceeded my expectations" is still a long way from "good". A string of good jokes makes not a good movie.

So it exceeded what you expected, yet you're still unhappy with it....remind me, why the heck did you want to see this film?

My expectations were pretty damned low, so exceeding them wasn't much of a task.

....remind me, why the heck did you want to see this film?

I hoped it would surprise me, and I had to know.
