...nothing more than a sitcom-level romcom that becomes more and more predictable and flat-out conventional as it progresses. Go to Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com 01/27/2007
2/5
feels so derivative and warmed-over that it's actually hard to believe that, in 2006, someone decided to make a movie about this topic again. Go to Full Review Joseph Proimakis Movies for the Masses 08/30/2006

06/16/2024 Some of the worst comedic performances from some of the best comedic actors out there. Unbelievably unfunny. See more angela g @Sunflower378 10/03/2023 his movie is so funny i have seen it 5 times See more 05/15/2018 a very beloved film of my own, though I don't like comedy that much, but this movie knows how to drive joy inside of me See more 11/06/2017 Worst movie I've ever seen See more 01/16/2014 kathy bates and danny devito play parents from hell to a yuppie self-help author. after finding out he was adopted, dr. richard clayton seeks out his real parents and they turn out to be redneck carnies with a last name that is related to the word shit (manure). i had some high hopes that this would stink like manure, but it turned out to smell more like scented fertilizer. cliches are abound in a typical comedy of this sort, but they were tolerable due to the performances. the actors involved looked to be having fun with this desperate material. the nightmare sequence left me in stitches.
