Excuse me, I didn't get the joke.
12 April 1999 | by (Earth) – See all my reviews

Well it happened again. I didn't get the joke, but everyone else seemed to get it. Is this movie funny? I didn't think so. I didn't think so at all. Then again I must have awful taste in films. EVERYONE else liked it, at least a little. I didn't even smile when Julia Roberts fell on the butt, although everyone else did. Where did they come up with a script like that. But the most amazing thing was that she fell again, and again. Then there were some kids that sang a song after breathing in helium. I didn't find that very funny either, but the other in the cinema seemed to be having a good time. I admit that this is the only place I dare to talk about this. Else I would probably have no friends, at least they would find me a bore.
