Truly one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. There are just so many quotable lines! My favourite is: "He died in a bizarre gardening accident. The authorities said to best leave it unsolved" - @Tuesday, May 17, 2011 8:55 AM

@ScottXC91 Thumbs up man, simply because your comment sounds like the way they would probably explain it them selves, if they were actually real of course ;) - @Tuesday, May 10, 2011 10:50 PM

@JAMIEandNOAH I knew they were a made-up band for the movie but I later saw them in concert and realized that they are a real band (and quite a good one, it was the best concert I've ever been to). - @Friday, December 31, 2010 8:01 AM

@CriterionTrailers I've never understood why people love that line so much... it's not that good, compared to the level of funny lines in the film. - @Friday, December 3, 2010 4:36 AM

@JAMIEandNOAH Well, they actually are a band, kind of. The band in the movie is technically fake, but McKean, Guest, and Shearer actually recorded and play the songs in the movie, so they're real, but not really. - @Thursday, September 2, 2010 3:57 AM
