Tommy Boy

[ericadawn16]

How I Met Your Mother from earlier this season:

Ted: The main character is a young spoiled prince thrust into leadership after the death of his father. It's obviously a modern day retelling of Henry IV.

Zoey: Are you kidding me?! It's Don Quixote - the classic quest story with the hero jester and his long suffering manservant.

Ted: Okay, clearly, when we're watching Tommy Boy, we're watching two different movies.

Lily: Marshall and I have been together 15 years and the only debate we've had about Tommy Boy is whether it's awesome or super awesome. That's love, bitch.

I LOVE Tommy Boy. It's one of the greatest comedies ever made.

Haha. Those are very interesting ways of looking at that movie. I've always just grouped it in the "awesome two-dudes-that-hate-each-other-on-a-road-trip movie" genre, but now the only other movie I can think of that fits that is Planes, Trains and Automobiles, so I don't know what other movies I was thinking of to create that category... lol.
