excellent movie

Well I've noticed and read people's comments. What I would really like to say is that stop being too harsh on Stallone. OK he is an actor, but acting is not a really easy thing to do. The people who have written bad comments about stall one first u try to act and preform in front of a camera then we'll see how you drown in your sweat. I am one of Stallone's fan, Stallone can make comedy example Oscar so PLEASE DON'T BE MEAN I really liked this movie and I see nothing wrong. Well I think he is an excellent comedian

10 out of 10

If you don't like the film it's not Stallone's fault its more likely the director due to the fact that they actually invent the story not the actors (BEAR THAT IN MIND!!!) This movie most people didn't like and they are giving all the bad credit to Stallone. It sounds completely stupid. All I would like to say is that for the members (please don't get put off by all the bad comments first see the film and make your own judgement)
