The true Jerry & Dean story starts here!, 6 January 2002
6/10
Author: mifunesamurai from Australia

It has its moments as a curious piece where one can't help but see this as a premonition of the future relationship between Dean and Jerry. All the laughs go to Jerry and the romance is looked after by Dean the man. I now know where Jim Carey got his facial expressions from.
