Quick Change, with Bill Murray, Geena Davis, Randy Quaid, and Jason Robards, is one of my favorite comedy films.

Where's Poppa, with George Segal and Ruth Gordon, was one of my mother-in-law's favorite comedy films.

My wife and I discuss possibilities for why what we find funny and what our parents find funny is often so different.
