Very Entertaining, 6 May 2001
7/10
Author: Marcus Smith from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Some of the movies I get to see on movie channels that play older movies are well worth the extra few dollars a month to the cable company. This was one of those movies. Not the greatest movie I've ever seen, but very entertaining, funny in a quirky way, well worth a look.
