      Audience Member Fast-witted, but slowly paced. Good acting, weird story and hilarious dialogue save this from becoming too dull, and takes your mind off of the ass-blisteringly slow pacing. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member 74% "How dare you not know who I am!"-Dr Pretory (Jason Carter) The whole cast hams it up, while Carter steals the show. "Then be a good American, and together we will exploit your personal tragedy."-Dr Pretory Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Dumb as heck, but it's kind of fun. Really, there isn't much to the plot, half the time it feels like the characters are just yelling at each other. Not to mention that cast. It doesn't get too laughable, and the ending leaves little behind, but it's not too hard to sit through. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Just AWFUL. I usually love any movie with NPH, but this was horrible. If I had to go back in time, I would have stopped myself from paying the 50 cents I did to buy it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Crazy and weird. I was disappointed to call the ending of this one. I was really hoping that the end would give this movie something so it wasn't a complete waste. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member What a ridiculous movie... but I enjoyed it! The comedy was good, as was the plot of the movie. And Neil Patrick Harris was great as always :D. Would recommend to anyone who is in the mood for an easy-viewing, light comedy and laughs :) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Ernest Hardy L.A. Weekly None of the film is as funny or clever as Cates and screenwriters Ron Marasco and Michael Goorjian ... seem to think. Sep 26, 2002 Full Review Merle Bertrand Film Threat A horribly over-acted; tiresome sort of Naked Gun on crystal meth. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 28, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews
