- Quotes
Sally Finney: Brick wall, waterfall, Dickie thinks he got it all but he don't, and I do so Boom with that attitude. Peace punch, Capt'n Crunch, I've got something you can't touch. Bang-bang choo-choo train, wind me up I do my thing. No Reeses Pieces, 7-Up, you mess with me, I'll mess you up.

Featured review
5.00$ a rental X Rented 10 Times= HOLY CRAP
When this movie first came out on tape(&DVD), i rented it the first time for a movie night with a couple of friends, we watched it once...twice...three times (we pulled a all nigher). Next Week-End once...twice...three times, each time finding something new. Take A Break... Next Week-End= once... twice. yup, only got two times that week-end. Then one day when i was supervising a GR.1 Class over the lunch hour At a elementary school one of the kids put his hand up, asked if he could say something. Thinking it would be harmless, i said sure. So, he stands up... and does the WHOLE "Brick Wall, Water Fall, Dick..." So on and so-forth. Then, everyone started doing it. i would recommend it to Anyone.
