One of the most entertaining movies ever!, 29 April 1999
Author: Jason-125 from Sherman Oaks, Ca

Losin' it is one of my favorite movies because it is so much fun. Sure Tom Cruise is in it, but the best performance is by Jackie Earle Haley as "Big Dave". Go rent it if you can find it! It's really funny.
