My favorite line and I think everyone's favorite is: "Insanity runs in my family.. it practically gallops." This is an absolutely hilarious movie from beginning to end.

One film I believe is one of Carey's best movies.

I absolutely love watching the aunts going on about how they're helping these "poor men" by poisoning them and burying them in the cellar then keeping mementos on the wall its just hilarious because they're going on and on and they seem so sweet and innocent that it'll just make you fall over in laughter.

Especially when you see Mortimer just freaking out once he discovers all the insanity taking place during a visit after his quicky wedding at city hall.

What ensues afterward is just diabolical hilarity.

If you haven't seen this movie I highly recommend it!
