Saw Fun with Dick and Jane, starring Jim Carrey and Tea Leoni.  I think she's funnier than he is, as I've gotten tired of his schtick.  The movie was no Noises Off, but I laughed a lot.

Noises Off is my favorite comedy.  The first time I ever saw it, I laughed so hard I had to hit 'pause' because I was missing too much.  Then I had to hit 'pause' so that I could catch my breath.  Finally, I had to hit 'pause' and throw myself on the floor to roll around I was laughing so hard.

The only other movie I recall laughing that hard at was something called Crazy People, starring Dudley Moore.  I don't know how that one holds up.  It was made in the late seventies or early eighties and most of the jokes are now obsolete.  For instance: "We're the phone company and we're sick of your shit!" doesn't even make sense any more.  But at the time, I laughed until my sides ached.

Maybe I'll watch Noises Off tonight.
