Unjustly lambasted comic insanity.

A loud, chaotic, overproduced comedy that's often more destructive than funny.

The most underrated film of Steven Spielberg's entire career.

I love 1941. I don't apologize to you, or my fellow critics, or even Spielberg for that.

It may possibly be that Mr. Spielberg has chosen gigantic size and unlimited quantity as his comedy method in the awareness that he has no gift whatsoever for small-scale comic conceits.

Over the top Spielberg comedy, most noted for effects and Belushi.
