September 11, 2010fb733768972Whoever Brian Robbins is, he took 100 minutes of my life that I will never be able to get back. The Shaggy Dog is among those films that you want to walk out on, but you can't because you want to sit there to be able to make every criticism possible on a film. I saw this film 4 y... read more
