Lol I think you're the only person to say that a Roger Corman film is funnier and more interesting than a real movie. Though I did notice you didn't say it was better.

I would not rate either movie is better. From your comment, it sounds like you may not have seen the original. It is a really good movie! It is darker, funnier, and more thought provoking. However, it does not have the production polish of the Frank Oz film for obvious reasons. The comedy in the original is quite dry, so do not watch it with any expectations.

In my opinion, one thing that makes the Frank Oz film great is that it is so very different. Please just give the Corman film a chance.

I haven't seen the original in its entirety honestly. It wasn't exactly the easiest thing to find when I was looking for it. I do however know how Roger Corman movies tend to work lol. Even when they're terrible its kind of fun to watch.

It's actually a very intelligent movie. Some of the acting could be better, but most of the acting is great.
