I previously thought that this film was the lamest of the Muppet films. I would like now to retract that statement.

Yes, this IS a horror anthology film and it was a lot of fun! That's because although the film clearly was horror, some of the stories had a light spirit--and there were even occasionally a few laughs. This isn't at all a bad thing as sometimes horror films are a bit stuffy and overly serious. Because of this and becau... | Positive | null | null |
Wow, this was another good spin off of the original American pie, not as good as band camp, but definitely a lot better the naked mile.

It does seem like this film is polarizing us. You either love it or hate it.

Overall, I agree wholly with Ebert's review. In a sense, I feel that I should not even be commenting since it is so much a vet's movie and I am not a vet (I was a resister).

A number of contributors have mentioned the age difference between Stewart and Novak. She was 25 and he was 50 when this movie was released.

I'm fond of this film and it vexes me that so many "reviewers" rank it below the Peter Jackson trilogy.

i would like to comment the series as a great effort. The story line although requiring a few improvements was pretty well, especially in season 1.

I found this to be a charming adaptation, very lively and full of fun. With the exception of a couple of major errors, the cast is wonderful.

Look, this is quite possibly one of the best movies America has to offer the rest of the world. To hate this movie is to hate freedom itself.

Dana Andrews is one of those actors that I've probably seen in a dozen films, but who has never really registered for me.
