I watched this one a lot on DVD when I was younger and it was one of my favorites but this is probably my first re-watch in at least a decade. Overall, it doesn't quite live up to my nostalgic recollection, but there's still plenty to enjoy here. The performances and the humor are the highlights, with some of the story elements and pacing sticking out less favorably. The first two acts feel a little disjointed, with almost stand alone vignettes that are sometimes awkwardly strung together. The finale also has some abrupt/rapid pacing as the movie feels like it skips some material to tack on the last two scenes. I'll keep my legacy 9 rating, but if I watched it for the first time today, this would probably be more like a 7.
