Laugh out loud funny!, 8 March 2003
10/10
Author: Steve Tracy from Milwaukee, Wisconsin

This is a fantastic movie often overlooked. The slapstick just keeps getting more and more outrageous as the movie continues. Martin Short and Danny Glover are a comdey duo as great as Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin. If you've never taken the time to see this movie, see it now!
