You have to watch it as a really, truly, amazingly awful piece of crap that provides endless humor value because of how bad it is.
I use the awesomely bad line "Rico, I need a new corporal. You're it until you're dead or I can find someone better!" on friends and family far more often than any sane human being ever should. |
As someone who loved the original book, I absolutely HATE this movie. The ONLY redeeming factors in this steaming pile were Denise Richards and the other chick who got naked in the shower.

ALL of the Christopher Reeve Superman movies.
And who the hell picked Margot Kidder as Lois Lane? She's about as unattactive as you can get.
All of Mel Brooks' comedies stand up well. The reason most people don't like them today is because they're not in-your-face stupidity and the jokes actually require a brain sometimes. The Producers is a perfect example. Absolute comedic genius, both the original, and the recent remake.

As someone who is married to a Mexican national, who came here via the legal process, I understand COMPLETELY why so many just run the border. It took over 2 years, and has nearly bankrupted me in the process. The process is completely fucked.
Ignoring the 2 years of paperwork back and forth between me and our government, regardless of the fact that I have a daughter with my wife (proven to be mine by DNA testing), I was still required to show documentary proof that my wife and I had actually, physically met each other prior to our visa interview date. Yes folks.. my daughter being alive was not enough to satisfy them. Then, as a final anal probe, I had to fly to Juarez, Mexico to go to the US Consulate to interview for her visa, and spend a week there dealing with their crap, when there is a US Consulate in Tijuana, just 30 minutes from my house. Their reasoning? They have so many cases to handle, and such a huge bottleneck to deal with, that they moved ALL immigration cases to one facility. Let me see if I understand this.. So you have more cases than you can handle, and instead of distributing them among SEVERAL locations to spread the load, you move everything to one site, thereby making the bottleneck WORSE? Brilliant. What fucking genius came up with that plan?
Short version: Our immigration policies make it difficult and insanely expensive for the mexican people to go through the process legally. So instead, they take a chance and run for it.
We also make far too many concessions to people who don't truly integrate themselves into our society. Legal or illegal.
As an example..
Citizenship requires you to speak English. The statement below is from the USCIS' own website on citizenship requirements.
"Applicants for naturalization must be able to read, write, speak, and understand words in ordinary usage in the English language."
In order to vote in this country, you must be a US citizen.
In order to register to vote you must be: 1) a citizen of the United States, 2) a resident of the state in which you're planning to register, and 3) at least 18 years old at the time of the election (or 30 days before for most states).
Yet even in light of this.. the state of California ALONE prints voting ballots in 7 (yes.. SEVEN) different languages.
When people tried to introduce legislation to allow illegal aliens to vote, I nearly came unglued. Worse still, when you object to such idiocy, you're labelled a racist.
This issue in general is far to borked to fix, and certainly building a wall isn't going to do anything. Here in San Diego, we have a wall, that stretches some 30 miles. They either tunnel under it, or just climb over the damn thing.
