LUUUUUUUUUUUUUVBROKERS!!, 20 December 2002
Author: jonpd from San Diego, CA

Very funny comedy from Ron Howard. Winkler and Keaton are a great duo and they team up very successfully from what I see. The whole premise is completely absurd, but you never know, it could happen. Nonetheless, engaging performances and great humor serve up a very good film. 9/10
