      KerryWhite's S 5/10. 59/100. | The material here is rough, especially in today's day and age. I have it some slack though as I remember it's only a comedy movie. But what the "Mann" does is insane nonetheless. lol Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review Felix P Wouldn't fly today so makes it even better now Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/19/23 Full Review B.

Rated: 3/5 Dec 24, 2010 Full Review Susan Stark Detroit News Rated: 2/4 Mar 10, 2007 Full Review Ted Shen Chicago Reader The idea of transposing the story to the macho, greedy world of big-time sports is promising, but director Jesse Vaughan delivers only flat dialogue and predictable situations. Feb 27, 2007 Full Review Mark Halverson Sacramento News & Review Rated: 2/5 Aug 7, 2008 Full Review Betsy Bozdech DVDJournal.com Director Jesse Vaughan's feature debut is a flat, predictable mess that has fewer laughs than the first 15 minutes of [Tootsie]. Rated: 1.5/4 Nov 6, 2006 Full Review Andrew Manning Radio Free Entertainment Bogus and wickedly unoriginal. Rated: 2/10 Jan 15, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews
