Don't miss the special jewel!, 18 May 2002
10/10
Author: cowboy-chef from Palm Springs

We could not start the car once we reached it because we were laughing so hard. Yes, after 4 months of playing at this theathre it was packed for a 5:45 showing and most of the people were blue haired ladies. Well this was Palm Spings and it was the week before Memorial Day, but don't let the little old ladies stop you, they had found a very funny movie and you'll laugh for days afterwards.
