Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com The generally groan-worthy humor makes the film far from the rollicking romp the premise would suggest. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 17, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member "It's a Wonderful Life" meets "La Cage aux Folles" in Arizona. Very funny and very sweet, with some great allusions to other films. Very good acting all around. The perfect feel-good movie when you're stuck at home sick. Spoiler Alert: awesome little dance scene. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This was a fun movie. Kept me interested the whole time. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member lame com-dram lite on comedy Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member I like it, it's a decent detour from the usual Rom Com except for the wrap up toward the end. I thought the first half was great- to me there are very few movies that can take deadpan and do it right without overdoing it. There are quite a few people who watched this who didn't catch on to it judging from the reviews (I have to remind myself that not everyone shares my sense of humor). I was increasingly disappointed when the closer to the end it got the more mainstream Rom Com cliche it became but it pleases the masses so that's the direction it went. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Glad to see veteran actors getting a paycheck. Too bad that Vic/Andy lost his big package from the opening pool scene in every scene thereafter. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Indi movies like this, make you love the art of film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
