Mind Blowing Special Effects and hilarious comedy, 4 May 2001
Author: (sky7e@virginia.edu) from Virginia

Ok, I watched the Magnum P.I. series religiously, and even I couldn't believe the twists and turns in this laff-a-minit thrill ride. No way Tom Selleck couldn't prove he wasn't the super stud for all time. He shows off his package for minutes at a time, and don't think that Judge Reinhold! isn't looking. You find out the truth about Magnum, including why he's called Magnum, and along the way laugh and love with our hero. Watch the boat explode at the beginning, and the fight with a giant squid and also the girls in bikinis make this the movie of a lifetime. 3 thumbs up.
