Silly but fun entertainment, 10 June 1999
8/10
Author: Robert W. Anderson (bayareabob@mac.com) from United States

This is one of my guilty pleasures. I enjoyed this movie for what it was. A film that's fun to watch. The secret seems to be a good cast. The story is not very deep. Rent it---if you feel like some southern fried fun
