Cute Movie....

....but definitely belongs on Comedy Central's "Mastercheese Theater", which is where I always seem to catch this movie every time it's on. :-)

I think the movie is cute, although I don't know if it deserves the star rating it had when I looked up this movie. Bob is funny, I will give him credit for. I think Cory Parker was trying a little too hard to be Woody Allen with a lot of his lines in this film. It could have been better, but it is a good time killer.
