My sense is, I think its okay for directors to do movies that speak to other work in their career. – Ivan Reitman

Movies either work or they dont work and theyre either funny or theyre not and we work very hard. To achieve that kind of work is really kind of delicate stitching. – Ivan Reitman

I remember when first, Stripes, and then Animal House came out – which I was really proud of, even though it was kind of loose and quite raucous – there were imitative movies that were not quite as good. – Ivan Reitman
