Got Viagra?, 2 February 2004
Author: Chris Winston from Fairbanks, U.S. Territory of Alaska

This movie was quite a yawn... but then again I'm not even close to an age where I can collect Social Security. Mr. Nielson and Ms. White both turn in very good acting performances but what else was there? Not a whole lot. I feel Leslie Nielson should have stuck to comedy at which he is best and left this role for some other grey-haired actor. The writing here was flat with hardly any comedy whatsoever. The comedic moments can be counted on one hand and each being very, very brief in nature. The romantic love story was average and didn't leave much to the imagination and was quite predictable. Stanley Tucci's character and his dialogue were absolutely pathetic. Ed Begley, Jr. was not good, either. One bright spot was Elaine Stritch's character but unfortunately she was not the star and not even on screen all that much. Odds are if you're less than about 55 years of age you're not gonna find much to love about this movie. My grade for this below average, Made-for-TV movie that'll thankfully never ever be on DVD so you'll hafta catch it during a very rare showing on television: D+
