This is a classic comedy. I have only seen several movies worth owning. This is definitely one. Jack Nicholson is an amazing mixture of brilliance, an impossible personality, vulnerable, honest, and certifiably insane.Nicholson is supported with actors that don't fade to the background and who challenge him. They actually slip a robust story in on you while you laugh.This is seriously one of the best movies you could buy. Great for trips, family nights, I watched it the other day just for a laugh.
