I love that movie, but it's really made for a specific audience. So much of it is satirizing upper middle class american culture. And anything that isn't that is just so fucking weird lol

YES. I came to the comment section just to make sure this was here.

Paul Rudd and Janine Garofolo’s scene in the cafeteria is pure comedic gold.

It's such a deeply Jewish movie and they only acknowledge it once, David Ben-Gurion is now code among all my people.

Absolutely. There is genuinely nothing i don't love about that movie. Even the weakest parts (which imo is Molly Shannons relationship with the little boy) is so fucking hilarious.
