Steve D 02/22/2023 It works far better than it should given its premise. See more 07/23/2019 Slow but if your patient the movie strikes the right notes. See more Frances H 09/18/2015 Good idea but the plot gets a bit lost along the way, as far as keeping the audience's interest is concerned. See more 04/04/2015 nothing great-just average at best.few laughs and a unamusingly dull plot highlight this LETDOWN of a could've been good movie. NO desire to see it again. See more 03/23/2014 entertaining and funny. See more 09/04/2013 It's the worst person (Brian McVeigh) in the movie who ends up being the most likable... and most tolerable. See more Read all reviews
