01/22/2015 will rogers sound debut See more 02/14/2011 As predictable and boring as a movie, about a family poor who strikes it rich and moves to Paris, can be. It's not funny or dramatic really, but the actors aren't too bad. Overall I didn't like it. See more 07/13/2010 Cute Will Rogers comedy that predictably makes Paris society look like much less fun than hanging out with the country bumpkins in Claremore, Oklahoma. See more Read all reviews
