      Tom M Any fan of Colman will enjoy this film. Holm and Britton are very good in support. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/02/20 Full Review Audience Member The best comedy movie ever made! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Cute movie that Im sure few have ever seen. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I still remember laughing my hat off while watching this film during my early teen years. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review bill t Fun little movie isn't going to change the world, but it's cute. Ronald Coleman stars as a bookbody wanting to one up the soap company he recently applied for a job to. So he appears on the quiz program sponsored by the soap company and proceeds to get every question right, much to their chagrin. The best part of this is Vincent Price, way past his usual realm of horror, as the soap company kingpin. Pretty surreal, but not the best thing you'll see. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A lackluster comedy in which (Vincent Price) totally steals the show....
