I loved it, 23 May 2001

Well, maybe it's just me but I thought this film was hilarious. 2 marvellous quotes:

"I can't do this", "Why not", "because I'm 23 years older than you', "29", "26"!!!!

"Go on tell her who" "Jennifer" "Jennnifer who?" "Jennifer" "ohhhh, you mean Jennifer, poor, sweet, young, innocent Jennifer........the bitch!"

For these lines alone the film merits a 10!
