very funny
19 December 2001 | by (newton, kansas) – See all my reviews

This movie is very funny and unique to motion pictures. Bob Hope provides a brilliant performance. He can easily be the only one to remember from the movie while the others you can forget about quickly. With this movie, you can obviously tell which scenes are fabricated and which ones are more realistic. I recommend this one for a couple of good laughs. But beware that there are some slow parts to it that can bore you quickly.
