David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...nothing more than a sitcom-level romcom that becomes more and more predictable and flat-out conventional as it progresses. Rated: 2/4 Jan 9, 2008 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com feels so derivative and warmed-over that it's actually hard to believe that, in 2006, someone decided to make a movie about this topic again. Rated: 2/5 Jan 27, 2007 Full Review Joseph Proimakis Movies for the Masses βασανιστικά gags με ηθικοπλασικά μηνύματα Rated: 1.5/5 Aug 30, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Some of the worst comedic performances from some of the best comedic actors out there. Unbelievably unfunny. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/16/24 Full Review angela g his movie is so funny i have seen it 5 times Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/03/23 Full Review Audience Member a very beloved film of my own, though I don't like comedy that much, but this movie knows how to drive joy inside of me Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Worst movie I've ever seen Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member kathy bates and danny devito play parents from hell to a yuppie self-help author. after finding out he was adopted, dr. richard clayton seeks out his real parents and they turn out to be redneck carnies with a last name that is related to the word shit (manure). i had some high hopes that this would stink like manure, but it turned out to smell more like scented fertilizer. cliches are abound in a typical comedy of this sort, but they were tolerable due to the performances. the actors involved looked to be having fun with this desperate material. the nightmare sequence left me in stitches. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Aside from some liberal propaganda, not a bad comedy. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
