Nice & splendid........fantastic!
14 August 2000 | by (London) – See all my reviews

Some people say that it's like a category-3 film but I don't agree...in my country, it's shown in "Children Festival"...it's funny than anyone had expected. Please don't misjudge this film by saying it as a Category-3 film...both kinds are different as Life With Mikey is suitable for kids but a Category-3 film isn't...
