Unashamed that I absolutely love this movie. Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore are fantastic, but the real star of the show is Eileen Essell's Mrs. Connelly. Her line delivery is brilliant ("He was named after my late husband, Richard.") and she perfectly fits the role.
This movie has been a family favorite since I was a kid. My siblings and I can quote this movie forwards and backwards, like it's "The Princess Bride" or "Anchorman". Yes, the plot is dumb and the story is stretched over 89 minutes, but they are 89 minutes of dumb comfort.
Best Character: Mrs. Connelly Best Quote: If I had to pick one, it would be "Oh, blueberries!" but honorable mentions to the following:

- "It went bang-bang-bangety-bang-bang-BANG-BANG!"
- "That was the weirdest seven minutes of my life."
- "He died drunk and penniless."
- "Kenneth..."
- "It's pissing down out there!"
- "I don't drink meself, it's a sin."
- "She was holding me down, and he was having his way."
