Sadly…
…Through My Own Personal Adventures…
…I’ve Found That…
“THE ADVENTURES OF BARON MUNCHAUSEN“
…Is Hardly Thought Of At All By The Bulk Of Other Peeps.
And That Fact Really Is Sad.
This Is A WONDERFUL Flick, My Peeps.
TOTALLY And FO SHO!!!
It’s Exciting!
It’s Fun!
It’s Crazy!
It’s A Rip-Roaring Adventure In Every Measurable Way!
Now You Know Me, My Peeps…
…I’m NOT Going To Spoil A Moment Of It For You.
All I’m Trying To Do Is…
1.) Tell You I'm Watching It.
2.) Do So In A Written Form.
…And…
3.) Give You Just Enough To Wet Your Collective Whistles And Make You Wanna Check It Out For Yourselves.
Period.
Need A Plot Summary Or Something?
FINE!
IMDB Can EASILY Supply YOU With THAT.

Fair Enough, Kiddies?!
AWESOME OPOSSUM!!!
Something I WILL Share With You Is…
“THE ADVENTURES OF BARON MUNCHAUSEN“
…Was Made With Lots And LOTS Of LOVE And CARE.
It’s A Priceless Little Gem On A VERY Grand Scale.
And It’s ADDICTIVE, My Peeps.
Honestly AND Fo SHO!
The First Time I Saw It Was In 1991.
We Rented It For A Weekend.
I’m Unsure As To How Many Times I Watched It In Those 2 Days…
…But It Was Something Like 5 Or 6 Times.
No Foolies, Folks.
I’m As Serious As A Heart-Attack.
My Family Was Utterly SICK OF IT By Weekend’s End.
And Then…
…Two Weeks Later…
…I Rented It For ANOTHER Weekend!
(hahahahahahahaha)
Yeah.
Am I Making My Point Clear Enough?
I. LOVE. THIS. FLICK.
PERIOD.
It’s An ALL-TIME FAVE Of FAVES.
Let Me Put It To You This Way…
…If You Invited Me Over To Your House To Watch A Movie…
…And It Was Up To Me To Bring Something…
…I’d Do As I Always Do And Bring Over FIVE (5) Flicks To Choose From.
However…
…There Are Only TWO (2) Staple Flicks I ALWAYS Bring Over.
“KRULL“
(My Favorite Flick EVER EVER EVER!)
…And…
“THE ADVENTURES OF BARON MUNCHAUSEN“
(The Flick I Most Enjoy Watching With Someone Else!)
TRUST ME, My Peeps…
…It’ll Make You Smile…
…A LOT!
