I really liked this movie, deserves more stars
23 October 2002 | by (Colorado Rockies) – See all my reviews

Imagine a rap song by Ice-T... and Tim Conway! That's how it starts. There are a lot of funny moments throughout the movie. The scene where Tim is in Stella Steven's room is hilarious.

I watched this movie especially to see the cameo by Ernie Anderson. I was disappointed that he didn't get a close-up, I recognized him by his voice.

Most movie guides give this movie one star. Highly underrated. I'd give it two and a half.

If you like Tim Conway, watch this one.
