Steve D 12/26/2023 Fairly dull despite its insistence. See more 07/19/2015 good culture shock/fish out of water tale See more 05/01/2013 Fish-out-of-water comedy that is light in its humour but inoffensive and enjoyable. See more 07/20/2012 Cute fish out of water story with able players working with an ordinary script and making it better than it should be. See more 06/07/2010 good funny comedy great cast See more Read all reviews
