You have to take this movie for what it is and when it was released. The characters are likable and the dialogue doesn't try too hard to be funny; it just is.
Granted, some of the appeal may be nostalgic at this point; it's hard to imagine how this looks to a first-time viewer today. OK, some parts are bound to be ridiculous; there is a break-dancing scene and accompanying music that are hopelessly dated... then again break-dancing does appear to be making a comeback.
I'm not a huge Andrew Dice Clay fan, but this movie is where the "Diceman" character originated.
The actor who plays Palmer Woodrow wrote the movie The Burbs, as it turns out.
