User Reviews

This is the 3rd most entertaining comedy I have ever rented!

It starts off with the glum withdraw of city & suburban life for this family and parents desire to make it better by going to the country, BUT they are not ready (all except little Billy) for the unexpected! Try for example a GAY INDIAN (ABSOLUTE FICTION)!!!

If you watch this catch the line (Oh you poor deer..).... I don't promise you will like it, but Ido promise you will find it unique and in the spirit of Airplane! Sean Richard McCarthy
