I watched the movie again last night. Sure, it’s not perfect (Wedding is my favourite, and then 2), and some here may think it’s too Jewish, but I still genuinely like it. Like, it’s no worse than the original Mean Girls or Superbad, and it hasn’t aged that badly. Some of the humour is still reasonably current - it’s literally where we got “MILF” from, after all!

Yet Zoomers won’t watch it (but Rocky Horror is ok, because it’s “queer”?) and the “new media” constantly calls it problematic, to the point of at least one “viral” article a year to that effect, which is just… Pathetic really. Especially since even my extremely normie, straight-laced parents had to admit that they have chuckled at it a few times…

Honestly, I just wish I had first seen the movie when I was a teen, rather than in my twenties. I probably could have done with a dose of that, growing up.
