I can't say I share your point of view on this film at all. I've always absolutely loved it. As for the "fun" factor, entertainment isn't a dirty word. I think in making the film exciting and enjoyable (and funny), it makes the tragic aspects more poignant.

More of my thoughts here, if you're interested. :)
