REVIEWS

Review by anonymous (posted on 8-Jun-2006)

When I saw the trailers for this movie, I was expecting a comedy that was a little "raunchier", so when I saw it in the theatre, I was sort of disappointed. However, after watching it again, knowing what kind of comedy it is, I found it rather enjoyable.
