Recommend me a movie for the following situation!
so finals are coming up and my fellow officers and I have decided that we're just going to have a movie night at our next club meeting..it should be a relaxing and mindless night to ease some stress before finals really begin..i need a movie thats light in action, comical, and does not require any thinking nor further discussion..maybe something in the likes of pixar movies(many of my fellow members have seen all the pixar movies so list none please!)..one more thing, it must be shorter than 2hrs, preferably shorter than an hour and half if possible..and it must be rated PG-13 or below, even though we're all college students! don't ask me why :P thanks in advance

The classics like Airplane, Animal House, and Caddyshack are always safe bets, but one film that you probably haven't seen before that will result in some laughs is...
Brain Donors
Recently released on DVD, BTW (the other "unknown gem" I'm waiting for - Moving Violations - comes out in July).
79 minute running time; goofy comedy (a watered-down Marx Brothers); PG rating
Watched it with my wife the other night - she had never heard of it before, and she was surprised at how much she enjoyed it.

This talk of "officers" and PG-13 movies for college students leads me to believe I'm missing part of the big picture here... but, going on the assumption that you've told me everything I need to know, here's some good films that pretty much everyone should enjoy that meet your criteria:
Adventures in Babysitting
Better Off Dead
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Fletch
Ghostbusters
Midnight Madness <-- probably the best choice if you're looking for something that many/all haven't seen
Pee-Wee's Big Adventure
Splash
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Young Frankenstein
Adventures in Babysitting
Better Off Dead
Ferris Bueller's Day Off

You want something that is light-hearted and funny and good for the end of a hectic day, try Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion. One of my favorites.

PG-13 or below? um...
guess The Breakfast Club is outta the question.

You've asked for a recommendation for a situation, but you've been incredibly vague about the particulars of that situation.
How about Chicken Run or The Jerk?
