Starts out hilarious, then goes downhill, then gets funny again, 19 September 2002
8/10
Author: Idocamstuf from Greenville, NY

I saw this movie a while back, and it wasnt the best I ever saw, but it was descent. Martin Short was hilarious, especially when he had to dress up as a pregnant woman, and his slapstick comedy during the stick up. The only thing that gets in the way is that little girl, who made it more of a drama than a comedy. Anyway the cast is great, James Earl Jones, Alan Ruck, Kenneth MacMillan(Cat's Eye, Armed and Dangerous), Bruce McGill(Animal House, My Cousis Vinny), and watch out for Larry Miller(Pretty Woman, Nutty Professer) in a tiny role as a police officer. All in all it's a pretty good, but eneven film. 6 out 10
