Agreed! I watched it for the first time this week and really enjoyed it. The DVD I got also lets you watch it dubbed in French, and I'm looking forward to seeing what gets "lost in translation" in the French version. Presumably they would have had to change all the Japanese pronunciation gags, which would be a challenge for the French translator. "Lip my stockings," for example.

I really loved the movie. The last film which stuck with me the way this one does was Magnolia.

At least now you can say, "I'm not fat, it's Cushings syndrome from the steroids I have to take."

I hate steroids. They give you all the symptoms of schizophrenia except for hearing voices.

Dale, it's time to put down the medical text, step away, and lie down.

Agreed. Your doctor is making lots of money from your visits, the pharmacy is raking in from your prescriptions, etc. Isn't that what they look for in a patient?
