I wasn't expecting much out of this but was pleasantly surprised. The movie actually had a couple of laugh out loud moments and did not rely on profanity and sex for the plot. It never ceases to amaze me when familiar faces show up in movies that I have never heard of. This is on... read more

in the end I was starting to feel like I was the third wheel in the relationship between the DVD and my DVD player Full Review
As beautiful and amiable as she is amusing, this is one of Richard's best parts...easily tolerable and not to mention, a tad cute.
