Hardly Watchable, 28 March 2002
1/10
Author: Steven Bailey (skad13@aol.com) from Jacksonville Beach, Florida

Watch this one only its first five minutes, a fast-paced and genuinely funny montage of clips from Lewis's earlier comedies. Then, if you dare, settle back and get ready for a jaw-dropping compendium of unfunny gags, rip-offs from earlier movies (an entire set-up is lifted from Lewis's The Bellboy), and product placement ads galore.
