Watching this again last night it really struck me how times have changed, in only fourteen years. The jokes, the attitudes, the very behaviour. Such a laugh-out-loud comedy certainly wouldn't and couldn't be made today. What have we become?
"Comedies" today both on film and TV just aren't.
In particular, the Homeland security guy is a laugh a minute. His racism, homophobia and ignorance have to be seen and heard to be believed. He's absolutely hilarious in his portrayal of an always-right person of authority, who nevertheless is totally clueless as to what's actually going on.
Kal Penn and John Cho are again superbly funny, and extremely good actors.
Even George W gets involved, and this guy is just as good as the three already mentioned.
If you haven't seen this film, do so, but prepare yourself to laugh again!
