Review:

Tim: Wow. It's difficult to know what to say about this film. First off, you have some great actors like John Cleese and Cuba Gooding, Jr. Then you have Whoopie Goldberg. The cast, however, is quite large, and every viewer will find their own favorites and those they hate: for example, I love Breckin Meyer in this film, while many other people probably wouldn't. I definitely did not like Whoopie Goldberg, while other people...... no, nevermind on that one, I doubt anyone would like Goldberg...

This film does have some good comedic moments, but not enough to be very memorable. It's hard to explain, as the film doesn't have many truly funny moments, yet the film manages to keep you entertained and interested, and while watching it, you feel as if the film is pretty funny.

I want to recommend this movie to viewers, but I want to warn them that if they don't like it, it's not my fault. I pesonally thought the film was good, but you can definitely do better if you're looking for comedies. I think you'll enjoy this film, but you won't think its all that great.
