Sometimes it feels like I'm the only person who legitimately liked the first Super Mario Bros movie. I would regularly rewatch it when I would see it come on tv before I eventually recorded it so I could watch it whenever.

If you haven't, I'd recommend watching the Morton Jankel cut. It restores some cut scene segments and improves some of the pacing as well.

It’s not great, by any means, but it’s a guilty pleasure. You can laugh at it and, in rare moments, with it. The kind of movie drinking games are made around.

I've come to peace with the fact that I'll laugh way more watching a movie like this or "The Shark Side of the Moon" than any serious comedy. And I mean like belly laugh, not "lol" laugh.

There's a sort of delight in watching a scene that you just know someone said after the nth take "good enough, we'll fix it in post." And forgot that the post processing budget was a pack of beer.

I loved it, my parents took me to see it at the theatre I was 10. I remember seeing the end where they teased a sequel and i waited for years so excited. I'm still waiting, I'm not giving up.

Not only do I like the movie, I showed it to my 13-year-old daughter and she liked it too. And she did not like the new one (I didn't see it).
