Broad farces never age well, but this collection of tired cliches was old when it was written.
Spoiler alert - its two jokes are: 1. Stereotypes. Just mentioning them.
2. Every adult character is stupid. Inconsistently and unrelated to the plot.
The only bright spots are tiny cameos by people like Dick Clark, Richard Pryor, and Ed Sullivan, but these are insufficient to make up for the utter lack of originality, the uniformly dull acting (apart from those 5 second cameos), the dialog that never sounds natural.
