User Reviews

Are you familiar with the show?

This is one more movie based on a TV show which feels like it was written by someone who never saw the show, and based the script on what people had told them about it. It has the right characters, place names, and situations, but none of the wifty, oddball humor which made the show special. It was good they could get (almost all) the same actors back from the original series. As usually happens in reunion movies like this, something happens to threaten the situation, and the characters band together to (everyone say it together) "SAVE THE TOWN!" The end of the movie is everyone saying "Well, now we can go back to normal!" It's almost as if the scripts for these things come in a kit--they're that stereotyped.
