I loved it because it made me laugh hard, and no matter how studiously anyone on earth may try to duplicate a great "bad movie," they'll never be able to duplicate this great bad movie. It's just ... perfect. If you can watch it with friends or a crowd, I highly - very highly - recommend you do so.
